Restoring $STDLIST And Report Files For JobRescue And
ElectroPage From A Backup
JobRescue and ElectroPage
store their files in the POSIX directory.
There are ten directories that are used, those being /NSD/files0 thru
/NSD/files9. Note that the POSIX directory
and file names are case-sensitive.
All files stored by JobRescue and ElectroPage are uniquely named, and there should never be a
problem with overwriting files during a restore.
This procedure assumes that you are using the standard MPE
STORE commands for your backups and restores.
If you are using a different product then you will need to adjust your
syntax accordingly.
Additionally, this procedure assumes that you are restoring
all of the files on the backup.
You will need to determine if you are storing these files on
the system volume set or on a user volume set.
Generally, if you have a group named USERVOL.NSD then you are using a
user volume set. The USERVOL group is
not normally created when the system volume set is used. You need to know which storage area is used
as the pathnames of the files on the backup are different.
To restore files from a previously created backup perform
the following steps:
q
Sign
on as MGR.NSD,PUB
q
Stop
the JobPak job with the command:
JPAKCOM.JPAK STOP
q
Restore
the files into the POSIX directories under the /NSD root directory
To restore both $STDLISTs and
reports:
If you are
using the system volume set:
RESTORE ;
/NSD/files#/@ ; SHOW
If you are
using a user volume set:
RESTORE
; /NSD/USERVOL/files#/@ ; SHOW
To restore $STDLISTs only:
If you are
using the system volume set:
RESTORE ;
/NSD/files#/A@ ; SHOW
If you are
using a user volume set:
RESTORE ;
/NSD/USERVOL/files#/A@ ; SHOW
To restore reports only:
If you are
using the system volume set:
RESTORE ;
/NSD/files#/R@ ; SHOW
If you are
using a user volume set:
RESTORE ;
/NSD/USERVOL/files#/R@ ; SHOW
q
Purge
the JOBDATA.PUB file
PURGE JOBDATA.PUB.NSD
q
Rebuild
the JOBDATA file
RJOBDATA.JPAK
This
program may run for several minutes.
q
Rebuild
the Log information for the status program
MERGEDIT.JPAK.NSD “-rebuild 0000”
You can replace the 0000 with the 24-hour time that your
STATUS logs switch over. You can
re-execute the MERGEDIT command as many times as you wish until you get it
right.
q
If
you are using JobPak 6.1F, rebuild the log beginning
and end records
MERGEDIT.JPAK.NSD -logbe
You should now have access to your restored data via the
STATUS program, as well as be able to restart the JobPak
job.
Remember, if you do not change your configuration to
increase the number of days for saving $STDLISTs
and/or the reports, the information you restored will be deleted at the next
Retention Management Cycle.
