Re: V5R2 Quality - a related question/issue

Was the system still rebuilding the access paths when you ran the program?
Did you check the QDBSRVxxx jobs to verify?
The restore may look finished from the screen, but a whole list of things
can affect
the usability of a file just restored. This is not new.
The Backup & Recovery manual has a chapter on How To Restore Specific Types
of Information, and has great detail on files.

issue that I had never seen before.  The IBM guys there recommended that I
submit a bug report, but I didn't have time while there, and we're still on
V5R1 (where we're not experiencing the issue) so I would have no way to test
a fix.  Perhaps one of you who is on V5R2 can check this out.

of index entries.  If RTVMBRD returns *GT zero we call programs to process
the data.  I had just completed a RSTLIB of our test database library, then
began our batch process.  This process added records to the based-on PF that
did meet the selection criteria.  However, RTVMBRD was reporting zero
entries.  Even DSPFD reported zero entries.  I found that if I did a OPNDBF
on the logical file that the entries magically appeared.  So my workaround
was to insert a OPNDBF & CLOF in the CL program just before the RTVMBRD.
The LF was set to *IMMED maintenance, so that wasn't the issue.  This has
worked in our software for (literally) years.
