Before running a restore operation, you must plan what type of
restore you want to perform. Then, configure your system values to the required
settings to meet your needs. Then, when a restore operation is performed,
you will have the correct settings specified on your system.
To plan how you want objects restored on the system, answer the following
questions based on your company's needs:
- How cautious do you want to be about what is restored?
- Setting Convert objects during restore to Level
0 (0) is the least restrictive state and Level 7 (7)
is the most restrictive.
- What objects do you want to allow to be restored?
- Do you want to allow the Force object conversion (FRCOBJCVN) parameter
to override the Convert objects during restore system
value?
Convert objects during restore may
be overridden. To see a list of compatible values for the Convert
objects during restore system value and the Force object conversion
parameter on the restore command, see the Effects of system value settings
on restore operations topic.
- What checking do you want performed for object signatures?
- Do you want to save access paths?
- Do you want to scan objects on the next access after the restore
is complete? This additional scan impacts the performance of the iSeries™ system
and may not be necessary. You need to consider what objects you are restoring
and what kind of performance impact the scan will cause. Before determining
whether or not to scan objects consider the following:
- Scanning may not be necessary if you are restoring your own objects which
were saved with the option to scan objects and not save objects that failed
the scan.
- Scanning may not be necessary if you are restoring objects that are coming
from a trusted source.
Now that you have planned how you want the system values
to handle a restore operation, you are ready to configure the system values for a restore operation.
