BS2000 files can be restored after archival by means of the HSMS statement RESTORE-FILES.
When restoring from long-term archives, objects from SF and SM pubsets may be included in the same run because the archiving function is not restricted to a specific environment.
Nonprivileged users are authorized to restore data belonging to their own user ID from the default system archives or other archives to which they have access. In addition, they are authorized to restore data belonging to other user IDs from the default system archives or other archives to which they have access, provided that they are co-owners of this data. They can restore the data to their own or to another user ID. For more detailed information on co-ownership, refer to the “SECOS” manual [16].
A restricted form of the HSMS statement RESTORE-FILES is available to nonprivileged users for this purpose.
In the event of restoration from a long-term archive, the files are created with the DMS default catalog attributes. In particular files and job variables are assigned a new creation date. The passwords, however, are transferred from the archive. Optionally the files can be restored with their original catalog attributes (in particular with the original creation date) by specifying DATE-AND-PROTECTION= *ORIGINAL-ATTRIBUTES.
