How to recover deleted Scheduler jobs definitions

Products

• Scheduler Job Management

Issue/Introduction

Two Jobs definitions were accidentally deleted in CA-Scheduler.   We have backup files that are taken using the CAJUTIL0 BACKUP commands. 

How to restore the deleted information without affecting any jobs that are running.

 

Environment

Release : 11.0

Component: Scheduler Job Management

Resolution

RESTORE the data base to a test Scheduler system so you can copy the needed jobs definitions from there.   Sample JCL:  

//RESTORE EXEC CAJUTIL0                                     
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                      
//CAIJBST  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=HLQ.CAIJMST.BACKUP      <--CHANGE DSN ONLY 
//CAIJBRK  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=HLQ.CAIJTRK.BACKUP      <--CHANGE DSN ONLY 
//CAIJBTG  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=HLQ.CAIJSTG.BACKUP      <--CHANGE DSN ONLY 
//CAIJBCM  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=HLQ.CAIJDCM.BACKUP      <--CHANGE DSN ONLY
//SYSIN    DD   *
