Group buffer pool RECOVER-pending status

Group buffer pool RECOVER-pending (GRECP) restrictive status is set when a coupling facility fails with pages that were not externalized. The affected object must be recovered.

Db2 automatically initiates recovery of an index that is in GRECP or LPL status. Indexes become available immediately after GRECP or LPL recovery. In some rare cases, when you run the RECOVER utility or RESTORE SYSTEM utility, an index might be left in REBUILD-pending status. In these cases, you must rebuild the index by running the REBUILD INDEX utility.

You must explicitly recover any objects that are in GRECP status and associated with a group buffer pool that is not defined with AUTOREC(YES).

To reset GRECP status, take the actions that are described in the following table.

Table 1. Resetting group buffer pool RECOVER-pending status
Status Abbreviation Object affected Corrective action
Group buffer pool RECOVER- pending GRECP Object Recover the object or use the START DATABASE command to recover the object.
Tip: To avoid issuing START DATABASE for every member, wait until a DSNI049I message is issued from each restarting member. Then issue START DATABASE to recover objects with GRECP status.
