Issue/Introduction

Is it possible to recover a report that has expired from a View database, where the report is still on a View tape?

Environment

• View®
• OM View for z
• Output Management View® for z/OS

Resolution

Use the SARTDR /TADD function to re-add specific reports, generations, or resource groups from an archival tape that has expired from a View database.

The function will add the sysout(s) back to the View master index. After the function has completed, the sysout should be selected with "L" (Load) to have it put to disk.

Note: At the next View standard backup, the sysout will expire again unless there has been an adjustment to either the View SARINIT retention parameters (NGEND, NGENT), or to the sysout's corresponding entry in the ERO table.

Below is sample JCL:
