When restoring files, the NEW-FILE-NAMES operand can be used to rename the files. However, the BS2000 naming conventions must be observed. Renaming is not possible for individual files but only for all files restored by the same request.
The following options exist for renaming:
The files can be given a prefix or suffix.
The files can be moved to another catalog and/or user ID provided the user is permitted to access this catalog ID or user ID.
The HSMS administrator has the additional right to rename the files under another user ID.
When restoring the catalog entries of BS2000 Net-Storage files (//RESTORE-FILES with the NET-STORAGE-FILES=*CATALOG-ONLY operand), it is only possible to move the files to another catalog. Neither moving to another user ID nor renaming the file is permitted.
In the same way, job variables can be renamed using the NEW-JV-NAMES operand during their restoration from backup archives.
