   Use Multijob for DR Restore  ==> N  (Yes/No/Update)

    On the Update Disaster Recovery Profile panel, when creating a disaster recovery profile for a Combined SLB group, the only recovery option is to recover all of the subsystems to the point of the backup. As a result, the profile only allows you to select whether you want to use the local or remote site backups for recovery, and whether you want to use the multijob option for performing the restore.

    When a build is performed against a disaster recovery profile for a Combined SLB group, the #REPOJOB and xxxx#JC1 jobs are the only jobs created. The #REPOJOB redefines and reloads the repository data sets. The xxxx#JC1 job performs the restore of the Combined SLB. No other recovery processing is performed.
