Re: Disaster Recovery test scenario

I've found that it's well worth it to figure out which PF/LF combinations
fit that problem for a given box and list them with recovery procedures so
that on a recovery they can be kept track of and doublechecked before
firing up the app.  I've seen the situation even with some large, well
written (in general) apps from big vendors.  You'd think that wouldn't pass
their QA when released...

Very bad to have PF's and LF's in different libraries.  Go SAVE/RESTORE 21
does not handle this properly unless the PF's are saved ahead of the LF's.
Regardless, the save of the access path (which is the default as of V5R3)
is wasted, and the LF has to be rebuilt regardless.

A complicating factor that I encountered once was a client that insisted
upon putting the PF's in one library (say, LIBPF) and the logicals in
another library (LIBLF).  Obviously, LIBPF would have to be restored
before LIBLF.  Restore 21 may handle this, or not.


My client actually complicated it further.  A had to be restore prior to
B; B had to be restored prior to C; C had to be restored prior to A!
For the life of me right now I can't remember what we did.  But to this
day, except for fly-by-night LF's in QTEMP, I insist that logicals be in
the same library as the physicals.  Joins could complicate that, but so
far I haven't had physicals in multiple libraries for a join - yet.
