Considerations and restrictions

You should be aware of these additional factors when using the Restore Document Library Object (RSTDLO) command.

Moving documents
When you restore documents, you can rename them, restore them to a different folder, or have the system assign new system object names.
Searching tape files
When you restore documents or folders from a list and specify SEQNBR(*SEARCH), the system restores from the first tape file that contains any of the documents or folders that you specified.
Selecting files from DVD-RAM optical media
The OPTFILE and SAVASP parameters control which files that the system uses.
Searching index database errors
When you restore document library objects (DLOs), the system updates the search index database information for the DLOs.
Authority required to restore document library objects
If you are restoring document library objects (DLOs) into a folder, you must have authority to the folder.
How the system restores new document library objects
When you restore new document library objects (DLOs), the system files them.
How the system restores existing document library objects
When you are restoring an existing document library object (DLO), the system skips the DLO and continues with the next one if either of these situations is true.
