Re: Recatalog a GDG - accidentally deleted the base
Sam, You can try creating the GDG Base and try to catalog. I guess it will work. Good Luck !

Unfortunately I deleted the GDG Base and I have 2 generations available. When I try to browse or edit the generations I am not able to perform anything. Can I recreate GDG base and try to edit? Will it works. Thanks.

You should be able to do a DELETE gds NVS with a FILE(dd) pointing to the volser where the orphaned dataset resides. If you need to get the dataset back, you need to redefine the gdg base and do a DEFINE NVSAM(gds) RECATALOG to get each gds associated with the recreated gdg base. If each gds is not SMS-managed and is single volume, you should be able to redefine the gdg base, use tso panel 3.4 to bring up the dataset in the list and issue C on the operator line next to the dataset.

If those two generations are actually still available (you can see them e.g. in ISPF 3.4) then you should be able to redefine the GDG and then use ALTER ROLLIN on the the generation datasets to reconnect them. If you've deleted the GDSes along with the base then you'll have to recover them from your backup. -- David Andrews A. Duda and Sons, Inc.
