RECOVER FILES
applicable pattern. Within the context of MAP NAMES, the following syntax
restrictions apply:
Wildcard Characters in old-fileset-list
In old-fileset-list, you can use wildcard characters in the volume,
subvolume, and file-ID fields as follows:
* An asterisk matches from 0 through 8 letters, digits, or a combination of
these, in the position where it appears.
? A question mark matches exactly one letter or digit, in the position where it
appears.
Wildcard Characters in new-fileset
In new-fileset, you cannot use the question mark as a wildcard character.
However, you can use the asterisk in this way:
* An asterisk can be used in place of a volume name, subvolume name, or
file ID. The asterisk indicates “all.” For example, $data1.*.filea refers
to all files named filea on the volume named $data1. Using wildcard
characters in partial names, such as $data1.sub*.filea, is not allowed.
Examples showing pattern-matching and wildcard-character use appear earlier in
this discussion under file-set on page 3-231 and later, under Examples on
page 3-245.
Security Restrictions
You can issue a RECOVER FILES command only if you are a member of the super
user group.
TMF State Requirement
Before you can enter the RECOVER FILES command, TMF must be started.
Usage Guidelines
For the RECOVER FILES command to operate successfully, AUDITDUMP ON must
have been specified in the ADD DATAVOLS or ALTER AUDITTRAIL command that
established the configured attribute values of the audit dump process, and at least one
online dump must have been taken of the affected audited files.
If you want to recover more than about 4,500 files, consider issuing multiple
RECOVER FILES commands against small groupings of files. If you specify a greater
number of files in a single command, recovery performance can be adversely affected.
Note. For both online dumps and audit dumps, Expand links to remote disk volumes must
support 56 KB input/output.
