Reposting without the FILE: added


Question:  Looking for example of a restore on a catalog and its aliases?

Answer:  

Here is an example of a restore for one catalog and its aliases:
//RESTORE JOB
//STEP EXEC PGM=CREWS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
//RESTORE DD DSN=BACKUP.CATALOGS(-1),DISP=OLD
//SYSIN DD *
RESTORE
ALIAS
CAT(CATALOG.MVSICF1.VSYSC06)


Sorry for the File Insert.  Do not know where that came from

Jake,

Have you contacted CA Support for CREWS.  Any product I have seen that does
CATALOG has support for your functions.  That includes TREX and Catalog
Recovery Plus

So, a quick search on the CA Website provided

I agree the aliases do Point to Master catalog. Here I do not use IDCAMS but
I use CA CREW for catalog Resize. So for other system I have to perform a
Redefine of aliases and Yes in our plex we have master catalog defined for
each system and Usercatalogs are shared across the system. So for defining
an alias I must be generating a IDCAMS control card using where I mention
like :

DEF ALIAS(NAME('ALIASNAME') REL('USERCATALOG) , so if I run this JCL on each
system then the mastercatalog parameter is not required.

So Just looking for a rexx exec which can extract the list from a PS
file(where only alias name is present) and prepare a control card for
IDCAMS.
