I have a situation I do not understand. We use the SNAP facility of our EMC software to make point in time backups of our volumes. After all of the source volumes have been snapped to the BCP volumes, we run ADRDSSU full volume backups of the BCP volumes. ADRDSSU is invoked via another program, which supplies the input DASD volume, output tape, and DUMP FULL command.
OK, that is not the mystery. The mystery is when I attempt to restore a VSAM dataset. If I do a dataset restore and specify the cluster name, I get no dataset found. If I do a dataset include(**), using the PARM='TYPRUN=NORUN, no VSAM datasets are listed. However, if I do a full volume restore, using the same input dump dataset, I see the VSAM datasets on the output volume. Also, I used IEBGENER to dump the contents of the ADRDSSU dump dataset, and I can see the VSAM dataset VTOC entries and the contents of the VSAM datasets. If I restore non-VSAM datasets, that works. It is only on VSAM datasets, that I get dataset not found. I have tried several variations of RESTORE commands, such as using the LOGICALVOLUME and ADMIN keywords. That does not make any difference. Can anyone suggest a solution and/or explanation? Thanks in advance. "Confidentially doc, I am the wabbit."
