Running a redirected recovery on a table space

A redirected recovery is when the RECOVER utility redirects the recovery of an object (the source) to another object (the target).

Procedure

To run a redirected recovery on a table space by using the RECOVER utility:

  1. Navigate to the target table space (the table space to which you want to recover from the source table space) and specify the UT line command.
  2. On the Table Space Utilities (ADB2US) panel, specify option VF.
    If you want to specify additional options or control options, see steps 2 and 4 in Running Db2 utilities on table spaces
  3. On the Specify SOURCE for redirected recovery (ADB2USVF) panel, either manually specify or look up the source database and table space (in the FROM clause), and press Enter.
    To look up an object, specify a question mark (?) in the appropriate field. The lookup feature automatically fills the values on the Specify SOURCE for redirected recovery (ADB2USVF) panel based on the object you select. You can also look up source image copies for the TOCOPY option. This feature allows you to browse SYSIBM.SYCOPY for an image copy of the source table space.
  4. Complete the usual steps for running a utility.
