Recovering a migrated data set
A restriction was noted in the discussion on recovering backup
versions of data sets: DFSMShsm cannot recover a data set to a migration
volume.
Note: DFSMShsm can recover a non-VSAM data set that
is currently marked as migrated in the computing system catalog if
a recover data set name is issued with NEWNAME specified, and the
NEWNAME data set is not a migrated data set.
To recover a backup version of a migrated data set, use one of
the following procedures:
- Recall the migrated data set and recover a backup version of that data set. You can use the REPLACE parameter if necessary.
- Delete the migrated data set and recover a backup version of the data set you just deleted.
- Issue a recover data set name with NEWNAME(newdsname) specified. If the NEWNAME(newdsname) is not a migrated data set, it will successfully recover.
