This information describes the basic recovery steps for a save
operation.
If an unrecoverable media error occurs when you save multiple
libraries, restart the procedure with the Start Library (STRLIB) parameter
on the SAVLIB command.
The basic recovery steps for a save operation
are:
- Check the job log to determine the library where the previous save
operation failed. Find the last library saved, which is indicated by a successful
completion message.
- Load the next media volume and ensure that you initialized the
media volume. If you were using menu option 21, 22, or 23 when the save operation
failed, skip to step 4.
Type the SAVxxx command you were using with
the same parameter values. Add the STRLIB and OMITLIB parameters and specify
the last library that was saved successfully. For example, if you were running
a SAVLIB *ALLUSR and CUSTLIB was the last library that was successfully saved,
you might type: SAVLIB LIB(*ALLUSR) DEV(media-device-name) +
STRLIB(CUSTLIB) OMITLIB(CUSTLIB)
This starts the save
operation on the library after the last successfully saved library. You have
completed restarting the SAVLIB operation.
- If you were using a menu option, select that menu option
again.
- On the Specify Command Defaults display,
type Y for the Prompt for commands prompt. When the
system displays prompts for commands that you have completed successfully,
press F12 (cancel). When the system displays the prompt for the SAVLIB command,
specify the STRLIB and OMITLIB parameters as shown in step 3.
Note: Restoring the system using this set of media
requires two RSTLIB commands to restore the libraries.
