Even if DFSMShsm cannot recover a discrete profile, you can access the recovered data set. Table 1 shows how to access data sets using the DFSMShsm RECOVER command when recovering data sets that are RACF-protected with discrete profiles and DFSMShsm is unable to recover a discrete profile. These data sets were generally backed up by DFHSM before Version 2 Release 2.0.
| Type of Data Set | Parameter | Result | How to Access the Data Set |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cataloged Non-VSAM | RECOVER NEWNAME | If the RACF® indicator was on when the backup version was created for the current data set, the RACF indicator is on in the recovered data set. | If a RACF profile does not already exist, create a generic profile or use the RACF ADDSD command with the NOSET parameter to create a RACF discrete profile for the data set with the new name. |
| Cataloged VSAM | RECOVER NEWNAME | DFSMShsm scratches the newly named data set. The recovered data set replaces the newly named data set, including the catalog record. | If the original data set was protected with a discrete profile and the newly named data set was not, use the ADDSD NOSET command to create a new discrete profile. Or, you can create a generic profile for the newly named data set. |
| Uncataloged | RECOVER TOVOLUME (Volume different from the one the data set was backed up from) | If the RACF indicator was on when the backup version was created or the newly named data set is RACF indicated, the RACF indicator is on in the recovered data set. | If a RACF profile does not already exist, use the RACF ADDSD command with the NOSET parameter to create a RACF profile for the data set. |
| Cataloged Non-VSAM or VSAM | RECOVER (NEWNAME is not specified) | If the RACF indicator was on when the backup version was created for the current data set, the RACF indicator is on in the recovered data set. | If a RACF profile does not already exist, create a generic profile or use the RACF ADDSD command with the NOSET parameter to create a RACF discrete profile for the data set. |
