Restoring an object that was backed up individually
The instructions in this section tell you how to:
- Restore an object that was backed up as a single object with an object header.
- Restore an object that was backed up as a single object without an object header.
- Create an OAM object from a data set that was not previously an OAM object. (This is equivalent to the previous case, because File Manager does not know if a data set with no header was formerly an OAM object.)
In any of these cases, specify:
- The input data set, according to the normal rules for VSAM input or sequential input functions.
- The collection name, object name, storage class, and management class. By default, the values in the object header (if any) are used.
- Whether you want to replace any existing object with the same name in the same collection.
