Can someone please clarify RECOVER BSDS command and Procedures on z/OS. I am refering to MQSeries System Administration Guide for z/OS "Recovering The BSDS" This section states that for DUAL BSDS mode you can recover a damaged BSDS by; 1. Use IDCAMS DELETE/DEFINE to define a new BSDS 2. Use +cpf RECOVER BSDS command to make a copy of a valid BSDS (boot strap dataset) in the newly allocated data set and to reinstate dual BSDS mode.
When I look up the +cpf RECOVER BSDS command The Command Reference publication states: Command processing consists of allocating a data set with the same name as the one that encountered the error and copying onto the new data set the contents of the BSDS that does not have an error. Well there is someting that I am misunderstanding here. Does the recover BSDS command automatically Allocate a NEW BSDS ? What is the correct procedure to recover a damaged BSDS in dual mode ? 1. I assume the Queue Manager must be Stopped. 2. A NEW empty BootStrap Dataset is deleted/defined 3. Then Add a +cpf RECOVER BSDS command in the Queue Managers Input Parameters. Is My assesment correct to recover a damanged Boot Strap Dataset for Dual Mode BSDS ? On the other hand Can the Queue Manager Be Started with a new "empty" BootStrap Dataset and then issue the +cpf RECOVER BSDS command when the Queue Manager is available ?
