Issue/Introduction

How to use DISK, DFHSM, or FDR ABR and FAVER together for automatic recalls when necessary?

 

Environment

Release:  4.5
Component: FastDASD

Resolution

The standard default setting for FAVER is NORECALL so archived files will not be recalled for every FAVER EXPORT process.  For FAVER to perform recalls for EXPORT processing, add the control statement of RECALL to the FAVER EXPORT parameters.

To allow reloads from archive you must setup the default files in GVPARMS. 

Here is a sample setup for using DISK and still maintaining the default option of NORECALL so not all FAVER EXPORT processes will require reloads. The process is similar for FDR ABR and DFHSM
