Logical restore of data sets with phantom catalog entries

z/OS DFSMSdss Storage Administration
SC23-6868-01

During a disaster recovery, the logical restore of data sets may be unsuccessful because of phantom catalog entries; that is, the target data set names are cataloged but the target data sets do not exist. This condition can occur if you have:
  • Scratched the target volumes and have not deleted the catalog entries for the corresponding data sets
  • Restored the catalogs before restoring the data sets
  • Restored the target data sets to different volumes from the offline source volumes, and the target data sets have not been renamed

DFSMSdss provides two parameters to support disaster recovery operations: DELETECATALOGENTRY and IMPORT.
