- Disconnects the data set from the monitoring server
- Copies the data set to tape or DASD in a format readable by the monitoring server
- Deletes and reallocates the data set
- Reconnects the empty data set to the monitoring server
To view backed up data from the product, you must ensure that the data set is stored on an
accessible DASD volume and reconnect the data set to the monitoring server. The following
steps outline the procedure for reconnecting a backed up data set.
- Understand the naming convention for backed up data sets.
