ARECOVER: Preventing aggregate recovery

Explanation: ARECOVER is an optional parameter specifying that the process of recovering aggregated data sets stop after completion of any currently running aggregate recovery. Any ARECOVER commands not processed remain in the queue until ARECOVER is released.

Subparameter Explanation
AGGREGATE ARECOVER AGGREGATE(agname) is an optional parameter specifying an aggregate group. For agname, substitute the name of the SMS aggregate group against which you want DFSMShsm to hold processing.
DATASETNAME ARECOVER DATASETNAME(controlfiledsn) is an optional parameter specifying a control file name. For controlfiledsn, substitute the name of the control file against which you want DFSMShsm to hold processing.
EOD ARECOVER EOD If the EOD option is specified with a HOLD ARECOVER command, the currently executing aggregate recovery is stopped at the end of the data set currently processing, and the ARECOVER command is purged from the queue. All open data sets and tapes are closed and all allocated data sets and tapes are deallocated before the termination. If an aggregate group name or control file data set name has been specified with the HOLD ARECOVER command, the above processing only occurs when the specified name matches a currently running or pending ARECOVER command. During ARECOVER processing, the restart data set is written when the HOLD EOD command is selected so that if the ARECOVER is reissued, data sets already processed are skipped.
If the ARECOVER parameter is specified with the HOLD command and without the EOD option, the currently executing ARECOVER commands run to completion. If AGGREGATE(agname) or DATASETNAME(controlfiledsn) has been specified, subsequent commands for that name will be held. When AGGREGATE(agname) or DATASETNAME(controlfiledsn) has been specified, the above processing only occurs if the specified name matches a currently running or pending ARECOVER command.
Note:
  1. If you issue an ARECOVER command with a WAIT option when ARECOVER is held, that request fails and an error message is issued.
  2. If you issue an ARECOVER command with a NOWAIT option when ARECOVER is held, that request is queued and processed when ARECOVER is released.

Defaults: None.
