Re: HSM recover backup from an missing tape

[retired-mainfra...@q.com]

You can check the catalog status of an individual dataset with the IDCAMS 
LISTCAT command or ISPF 3.4 (which will also let you check a group with similar 
DSNs).  However, the easiest way to check all the datasets from the ML2 tape 
probably is to use the HSM AUDIT command which can report any MCDS entries not 
found in the catalog.

You can check the backup status of a dataset using the HSM LIST command with 
the DSN and BCDS operands.  If the datasets have a common HLQ, you can use the 
LEVEL operand instead of DSN.  In any case, you can use the TTOC listing to 
build a REXX or CLIST that would issue the appropriate HLIST commands.

And when you have recovered as much as you can, it might be good idea to sit 
down and rethink your decision regarding dulexing ML2 volumes.

There is no easy way to do this short of brute force. However, Brute
force is just what computers were designed for!

Generate a clist/rexx to issue the commad 'HLIST DA('datasetname') BOTH
for each dataset on the TTOC listing. This will tell you if there is a
backup for this dataset.

Use this information to generate HDEL 'datasetname' and HRECOVER
'datasetname' commands.

HTH,
