Re: Restore deleted records in a journaled file

Using a combination of the journal to determine which records (by RRN) were deleted and when, and UNDEL2, it should then be possible to "un-delete" those specific records, unless the file is set to REUSEDLT(*YES), in which case, some of those deleted record "slots" may have already been re-used. :-o

nop option too, you won't see when the records got deleted.

UNDEL is probably your best bet, however....
There used to be free tool called FMTJRNE. It copies the journal entries
into a physical file that includes the original DDS along with the journal
header information. If you can find the tool, you should be able to CPYF
*ADD the "DL" records back into your file. If you get stuck, I can
probably send you my copy of the tool.

Hi everyone,

I just messed up big time and deleted almost all the records in a
journaled file while using interactive sql. Is there a way I can recover
the deleted records or rollback the delete without resorting to restoring
from last night's backup?

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
