HPTOOLSET XL Reference Manual
RECOVER
Recovers all versions of a file.
Syntax
REC[OVER] [filename [U[NLOCK]]]
Parameters
Filename Name of the file you want to recover. If it is
not specified, the current Edit file will be
recovered.
UNLOCK Is an option you may use for quick recovery if
you were not making modifications to your file
when the abnormal termination occurred.
Description
The Recover command may be needed after a system failure or other
abnormal termination of TOOLSET/XL. This command requires that you have
exclusive access to the file being recovered.
During recovery, TOOLSET/XL creates a permanent scratch file. It renames
this scratch file to the filename you have specified. If an error occurs
during the renaming process, the file will be in your current workspace
group and account.
There are some conditions under which a file may not be recoverable, such
as an unreadable TSAM file directory. If this occurs, you will be
advised to reload an old copy of the file.
Example
>>RECOVER Myfile
-->Recovery complete.
