The things Binyamin and Peter have been saying are useful, but I have a rooted preference for making some attempts at recovery in an ARR.
A dump after this attempt or these attempts fail is fine; a case can indeed be made for taking the dump before the waters are too much muddied by failed recovery attempts, i.e., before them. These posts do, however, seem to be saying that the proper function of an ARR is [only] to take a well-contrived dump. -- John Gilmore, Ashland, MA 01721 - USA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
