What Is A Restore Mission?

A restore mission is the basic mechanism used by Control-D for restoring archived datasets back to disk.

The restore mission searches the History User Report List file for entries that have been requested for restoring. Any entries that have a restore mission name matching the mission will be restored. A copy of the archived CDAM dataset is restored to disk and a copy of the requested entry is placed in the Active User Report List file, allowing the user access to the restored report.

You can define different restore missions that can restore reports at different times. For example, restore critical reports immediately and non-critical reports on an hourly basis:

If you have to manually load tapes or cartridges, you should ensure that restore requests do not continually flood the operator's console. It is better to create a specific interval to carry out these requests.
