Task 9: Restoring save files to a basic auxiliary storage pool

Use these steps to restore save files to a basic auxiliary storage pool (ASP).

1. Sign on with a user profile that has *SAVSYS and *JOBCTL special authority.
2. For each save file you need to recover, load the correct save media volume and type the following command:

   
   RSTOBJ OBJ(save-file-name) SAVLIB(library-name)
          DEV(media-device-name) OBJTYPE(*FILE)

   Note: This command restores the description of the save file and its contents, if you specified SAVFDTA(*YES) when you saved the save file. If you specified SAVFDTA(*NO) when you saved the save file, this command restores only the save file description.
3. Continue with the next task in the recovery checklist from Selecting the appropriate recovery strategy.
