Restoring changed objects individually

If your method for saving changed objects is not cumulative, you might have the same object on more than one set of Save Changed Object (SAVCHGOBJ) save media.

You can choose to restore each set of SAVCHGOBJ save media completely, starting from the oldest media volume. This is the simplest method. However, it might be time-consuming if you have the same large objects on more than one SAVCHGOBJ media volume.

If you want to restore each set of SAVCHGOBJ save media completely, follow the procedure described in Restoring changed objects by library for each set of save media. If you want to restore each object only once, follow this procedure:

  1. Load each SAVCHGOBJ media volume.
  2. Type DSPTAP DEV(media-device-name) OUTPUT(*PRINT) and press the Enter key.
  3. Compare the listings and find the most recent saved copy of each object.
  4. For each object, load the correct media volume and type the following command:
    
    RSTOBJ OBJ(object-name)DEV(media-device-name)
           SAVLIB(library-name) OBJTYPE(*ALL)
           ENDOPT(*LEAVE) MBROPT(*ALL)

    Repeat this step for each object you need to restore.

  5. Choose one of the following options:
