Recovery process

To recover your HCL Workload Automation for Z environment to the point-of-failure, perform the following steps.

About this task

  1. Allocate all required data sets. The JCL required should be based on the sample library (SEQQSAMP) members EQQPCS01 and EQQPCS02.
  2. Data backed up daily or weekly should be recovered from the most recent backup. LTP, NCP, and JTARC should be recovered from the most recent backup.
  3. Restore data backed up at regular intervals. Copy the backup of JS to both EQQJS1DS and EQQJS2DS.
  4. Browse EQQJTARC and obtain the time stamp of the last record. The time stamp starts at decimal location 12 and is in the format 00YYMMDDFHHMMSSTH. Examine EQQDLnn data sets, and identify the files that contain job-tracking records not included in the archive log.
  5. Copy the required EQQDLnn data set to EQQJT01. If more than one dual log contains job-tracking data not included in the archive log, append all the records to EQQJT01 in strict time order.
  6. Specify JOBSUBMIT(NO) and CURRPLAN(NEW) on the JTOPTS statement and then start the controller address space. Start additional address spaces required for the tracker subsystems.
  7. Use the HCL Workload Automation for Z dialogs to delete or complete occurrences that you do not need to process in the secondary center. Check the status of all occurrences and resources before starting job submission.
  8. Change CURRPLAN(NEW) to CURRPLAN(CURRENT) on the JTOPTS statement.
