Purpose

The Start Recovery using BRM (STRRCYBRM) command recovers items ranging from a single library to the entire system. Any library or group of libraries that were saved by a BRMS save command can be restored by this command. Recovery is based on entries in the BRMS media content information.

Recovery using the STRRCYBRM uses the most recent times and dates of entries in the BRMS media content information. This reflects the order in which libraries and objects were saved. For instance, a recovery request for a library will restore the most recent full backup of a library, the latest incremental backup of that library, and all object level saves that have dates after the last full save.

Note: Prior to processing a restore, use the report option (*REPORT) to produce a report of the steps required to restore a portion of the system or the entire system. The only time the STRRCYBRM command can be run in batch is when *REPORT is specified in the ACTION parameter. The report that is produced is the Recovery Analysis report. The report, if printed, is written to printer file QP1ARCY.

Note: This command should not be used by control group *EXIT item processing as results will be unpredictable.
