Re: Deleted VVDS
First we tried to recover VVDS from dump, but got the message that it wasn't there. In the end we worked our way around it somehow - defined new catalog, merged entries from the old catalog into the new one and copied everything to another volume.

Deleted VVDS
We IPLed one of the two systems in parallel sysplex, and encountered problem with accessing certain catalog. We found out that VVDS from the catalog volume is missing. Other system in sysplex (the one that wasn't restarted) still has access to that catalog and the datasets in it. We have two generations of dump of that volume, but unfortunately the dump copies dont' contain VVDS (meaning it was deleted before that dump copies were taken). Now we have a serious problem. We are considering our options, and any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Take a look at the Managing Catalogs book in DFSMS bookshelf. Especially the section on moving a catalog. Also look at the section on reorganizing a catalog. As long as you can get it copied to a file, then we can figure out a way to get it back intact. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Deleted VVDS
What's about defining a new VVDS with DEFINE CLUSTER and restoring the catalog either from the dump copies or try a dump/restore. How did you ascertain that the dump copies don't contain the VVDS?
