Recovery Data Set

The CA View recovery data set is used by the archival started task and during the recovery process to maintain and obtain information on the primary tapes used in the backup process. The SARRECV DD statement references the data set in the started task JCL for the archival task and in the batch JCL for the SARDBASE and SARRCOV utilities.

Note: The data set must reside on a direct access volume. Because the data set is used to recover the CA View database, do not place the recovery data set on the same volumes containing data sets for the CA View database.

Do not allocate the data set with DCB attributes. Only one track can be allocated for this data set.

Example

The following job is submitted to create the recovery data set:

//CREATE   JOB ACCOUNT,PROGRAMMER
//IEFBR14  EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//DD1      DD  DSN=VIEW.SARRECV,DISP=(,CATLG),
//         UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=VOL380,SPACE=(TRK,1)
