Recovering single objects from removable media

OAM contains a single object recovery utility for recovering a single object from removable media. You can use either the first or the second backup copy for single object recovery as determined by the settings of the SETOSMC statements in the active CBROAMxx member of PARMLIB. The system creates a new primary copy from a backup copy (if one exists) using the following criteria:

• If the primary object resides on optical disk, OAM uses a backup copy (on either optical disk or tape) to create a new optical primary copy.
• If the primary object resides on tape, a backup copy (on either optical disk or tape) is used to create a new tape primary copy.
• If the primary object resides on the DB2 sublevel, OAM uses a backup copy (on either optical disk or tape) to create a new DB2 sublevel primary copy.
• If the primary object resides on the file system, OAM uses a backup copy (on either optical disk or tape) to create a new file system primary copy.
