The Recover function is a command-line version of the Recovery Utility, which is part of IMS roll forward recovery. It recovers a single database specified by name on the command line, or a list of databases specified in an input file. When complete, the output file shows the results of the recovery process. For complete details on the Recovery Utility, see
Recovery Utility.
Important:
- Before running the Recover function, copy the image database to the current directory or to the directory specified by the ES_IMDAT environment variable.
- To use the Recover function, you do not need an active enterprise server because no JCL is required.
