Ah, all good points. But my query is now leaning towards having a clean
spool at DR without the headaches.
So is my assumption correct? If the checkpoint/spool space that is restored
from Full Volume Dumps has a S JES2,PARM='COLD,NOFMT' that JES2 would invoke
a MINI format (QUICK Format) rather than a full blown format which would
happen with a brand new, never before used environment?
I wish I had a test system to do the playing with, but my current shop just
loves to SHARE everything.
------------------------<unsnip>---------------------
I'm not familiar with what you call a MINI format, but a COLT,NOFMT
start clears the checkpoint, leaving you with a clear and empty spool. I
only did a FORMAT when I added SPOOL2-SPOOL9, which were NOT restored
but simply re-defined on whatever spare volumes we chose.
