Re: Disaster Recovery test scenario

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
