Issue/Introduction

A VSAM cluster was backed up and was now being restored. The old data class was not big enough. In this case. the file exceeded a 4GB limit and the customer received a GV011 - MISSING RESTORE DESCRIPTION error message. The customer had a new class with DataClass=Y in DFSMS. He needed the correct syntax to redirect the restore to the new data class.

Environment

Release: FASTDA00200-4.5-CA-FastDASD
Component: FAVER R4.5

Cause

z/OS 1.13 and above with active SMS managed storage groups

Resolution

These CA Faver control statements can be used as a sample to send the restore to the new data class.

RESTORE   REMP PURGE

CLUSTER

  CL=your.cluster.name           *AMS      -

   CLUSTER(NAME(your.cluster.name)     -

                 STORCLASS(newstorcls)       -

                 DATACLASS(abcx))                 -

   DATA(NAME(your.cluster.name.data))  -

   INDEX(NAME(your.cluster.name.index))

 

Everything after the *AMS is a standard IDCAMS syntax. You are overriding the actual DEFINE that was stored during the CA Faver export process.

You may need to do some fine tuning depending on how your JCL is set up and the specifics of your system. Please see the CA Faver User Guide for in depth details
