To view backed up historical data from the product, the
backed up data set must be connected to the collector address space.
About this task
Important: The content in this section was created for and applies to the original persistent data store, referred to as PDS V1. A new PDS version (referred to as PDS V2) now exists. PDS V1 will eventually be deprecated.
Use the following procedure to connect the backed up data set to the collector address
space.
Procedure
- If the data set is located on tape, use a utility such
as IEBGENR to copy the data set to a DASD volume that is accessible
by the collector address space.
- Use the command interface to do an ADDFILE command.
The ADDFILE command requires
the group name and data set name. Make sure you use the RO option
on the command. Otherwise, the data set is included in the PDS maintenance
routines and is eventually over written.
