IOADCPY – Recover an IOA Access Method File

The IOADCPY utility is used to recover an IOA Access Method file from the dual mirror image copy.

If an IOA Access Method file is used with dual file support, and either the working copy or the dual mirror image copy is corrupted or becomes unavailable, the damaged or missing file must be recovered. The IOADCPY utility restores the damaged or missing copy of the file from the copy that is still intact and available (including all file extents). If the dual copy is corrupted, the utility also resets the parameter in the control block of the IOA Access Method file that indicated a corrupted dual mirror image file (DUALBAD).

Note: The IOADCPY utility is not relevant for IOA Variable Database files. Additionally, because Control-M/Tape databases cannot be defined with a dual mirror image option, this utility is not relevant for Control-M/Tape databases.
