Error description
When a RBA/LRSN is specified for RECOVER of a partitioned object, Automation Expert must search backwards from that specified RBA/LRSN to find a starting point with which to begin the recovery. If a PART ALL IC is found in SYSCOPY - but is not usable (perhaps the underlying DSN was deleted) Automation Expert needs to continue searching backwards for other recovery points from which to begin. Also, it could be that a PART ALL IC does NOT exist. Automation Expert code needs to look for PART-level( n ) ICs to optimize how a recovery starting point is identified. This PTF will optimize Automation Experts recovery efforts for the instances described above to look for PART-level( n ) image copy DSNs and use those (if found) as a starting point for recovery
