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
