Re: V5R2 Quality - a related question/issue

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

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.
