Restore

Although CA Top Secret files can be backed up, only the security and recovery files can be restored without affecting CA Top Secret's performance. Three JCL procedures are placed in your PROCLIB during installation to restore these files. The JCL procedures restore from tape to DASD.

TSSRESTN

This procedure is used with the security file only. It creates a new security file from a backup copy. If the primary security file is lost or damaged, TSSRESTN allocates space on DASD and then restores the security file in the newly allocated space using IEHMOVE.

To create a new security file with the most current changes, enter:

S TSSRESTN

SMSRESTR

Use this procedure to restore the security file or the recovery file. TSSRESTR restores the backup security or recovery file from tape to DASD over the existing file.

Set up the TSSRESTR JCL to restore the security file. To restore the recovery file, specify the file when executing the task.

To restore the security file, enter:

START TSSRESTR

To restore the recovery file, enter:

S TSSRESTR,LL='RECFILE'

SMSRESTN

This procedure is used with the security file only. It creates a new security file from a backup copy. If the primary security file is lost or damaged, SMSRESTN allocates space on DASD and then restores the security file in the newly allocated space using the ADRDSSU utility.

To create a new security file with the most current changes, enter:

S SMSRESTN
