Restoring According to Scheduling Dates

You can organize restore missions so that each day’s restore management (that is, the restore workflow) is the same. The simplest method is to specify DAYS=ALL in the Basic Scheduling parameters of all restore missions. Once a day, when the New Day procedure is invoked, all restore missions scheduled for the next 24 hours are placed on the Active Missions file.

This restore organization does not maximize the capabilities of Control‑D. You can organize the restore order in different ways for different days (for example, weekdays, weekends, end of the month, holidays).

Using Control‑D, you can define several copies of the same restore mission. Each copy is an independent definition of the restore mission and can have different scheduling criteria, different runtime criteria, and so on.

For example, the RSTNOON restore mission does not start later than 12:00 on every workday, does not start later than 11:00 at the end of the week, and is not scheduled for holidays.

Since there is no limit to the number of restore missions that can be defined, the user can organize the restore process to optimally suit every production day of the year.
