Replying to my own message with the answer for the archives -- TOL(ENQF) was not supplied on the RESTORE and is needed in this case.
Thanks to all for your help. Peter -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Farley, Peter x23353 Sent: Monday, December 09, 2013 10:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Can ADRDSSU restore AIX and PATH for KSDS files? A question for the ADRDSSU cognoscenti: Can the AIX and PATH of a VSAM KSDS can be restored by ADRDSSU after being backed up like this: DUMP OUTDD(DASDOUT) - DS (INCL(HLQ1.HLQ2.**)) - COMPRESS - OPT(3) - SPHERE - TOL(ENQF) - WAIT(2,7) The AIX and PATH are originally defined and created by: DEFINE AIX(NAME(HLQ1.HLQ2.DATAFILE.AIX) - RELATE(HLQ1.HLQ2.DATAFILE) - CYLINDERS (500 50) - SHAREOPTIONS (2) - SPEED )- DATA(NAME(HLQ1.HLQ2.DATAFILE.AIX.D) - KEYS (4 52)) - INDEX(NAME(HLQ1.HLQ2.DATAFILE.AIX.I)) DEFINE PATH ( - NAME(HLQ1.HLQ2.DATAFILE.PATH) - PATHENTRY(HLQ1.HLQ2.DATAFILE.AIX) - UPDATE) BLDINDEX IDS(HLQ1.HLQ2.DATAFILE) - ODS(HLQ1.HLQ2.DATAFILE.AIX) We restore the base file with this command: RESTORE DS(INCLUDE(HLQ1.HLQ2.DATAFILE)) - INDD(DUMPIN) - REPLACEUNCONDITIONAL - SPHERE Should the SPHERE option on the RESTORE also restore the AIX and PATH or do they need their own RESTORE command(s)? If so, what would the syntax of such a RESTORE command look like? TIA for any info or RTFM or other assistance you can provide.
