COPY Disk-to-Disk

Perform the following procedure to recover the database from a media problem:

Run the SARDBASE utility ADDDS function to create a database on alternate DASD.
Run the SARDBASE utility COPY function to copy the data from the old (damaged) database into the new database.
You can run SARBCH LIST on the old and new databases, to account for any data that were lost in the process.
If necessary, you can restore lost data from backup tapes using SARTDR TADD.
The output from SARBCH LIST shows the tape sequence number for each SYSOUT. The tape sequence number is part of the last qualifier of the tape data set name, used by SARTDR TADD.

Notes:
- If many SYSOUTs are missing, you can save time by using SARDBASE RESTORE as an alternative to SARTDR TADD.
- For more information, see the sections Minimizing Non Archival Time (earlier in this chapter), SARDBASE RESTORE Using Forward Recovery Data (later in this chapter), and SARDBASE RESTORE Without Forward Recovery Data (later in this chapter).
Restart the CA View archival task and resume operation.
