Recovery process

To recover your IBM® Z Workload Scheduler environment to a predefined point in processing, perform the following steps.

About this task

  1. Allocate all required data sets. The JCL required should be based on the sample library (SEQQSAMP) members EQQPCS01 and EQQPCS02.
  2. Data backed up daily or weekly should be recovered from the most recent backup. LTP and NCP should also be recovered from the most recent backup.
  3. Restore data backed up at the predefined point. Copy the backup of JS to both EQQJS1DS and EQQJS2DS.
  4. Specify JOBSUBMIT(NO) and CURRPLAN(NEW) on the JTOPTS statement and then start the controller address space. Start additional address spaces required for the tracker subsystems.
  5. Use the IBM® Z Workload Scheduler dialogs to delete or complete occurrences that you do not need to process in the secondary center. Check the status of all occurrences and special resources before starting job submission.
  6. Change CURRPLAN(NEW) to CURRPLAN(CURRENT) on the JTOPTS statement.
If you are scheduling end-to-end with fault tolerance capabilities, perform the following manual actions to make sure that the Symphony™ file is aligned with the rebuilt current plan:
  1. From IBM® Z Workload Scheduler dialog select the option 3, DAILY PLANNING. The Producing OPC Daily Plans dialog is displayed.
  2. Select option 5, SYMPHONY RENEW.
  3. Submit the symphony renew batch job to create a Symphony™ file aligned with the current plan.
