Restore journalreceiver from tape

[winfried_bayer]

Hello,

the journal receivers are saved and deleted every hour. During a recovery test we want to restore the journal receivers. Now we have lots of sequence numbers to restore. The RSTOBJ restores unfortunately only one library one time.

How can we restore the complete tape?

Tanks.

Hallo Herr Bayer,

the so-called parallel save may help you to reduce the restore time significantly. That's true for every object type.

In your case, you could save the journal receivers to multiple tape drives if your tape library does have at least two tape drives.

Other than that, there's no other way I'm aware of, to increase the restore time.

Hello Mr. Wermann,

the problem isn't the runtime. We need a easy way to restore all journalreceivers without the danger to forget one.

Hi ,

Do you want to restore ALL the receivers the use the below mention command

RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(R3XXXJRN) DEV(TAP02) where xxx represents your SAP system id . All the journal reveiver are loctaed in this LIB .

Thanks ,

Hello Mr. Bayer,

to my knowledge, there's no existing way of doing that. Therefore I recommend to write a CL program for restoring those journal receivers using multiple RSTOBJ commands. You might want to use the tape file sequence number to locate the journal receivers on the tape in that program because that is the fastest way of doing that.

Unfortunately, I don't have better news for you. Maybe others in the forum do have something already in place.

Hi Winfried,

tja, that is one of the disadvantages of the hourly backup ;-(

You will have to restore each sequence number with RSTOBJ and then overwrite the partial receivers.

This should work with "a nice" CL program in a loop.

We could support you in this and the APYJRNCHG or whatever is following to that ...

Hi Volker,

that's not what I want to read ....

I couldn't believe that such a great system couldn't restore one tape with one command.

So we've to create a CL.

Thanks for your answer.

Have a nice day

Winfried
