Repair and reset are means of recovering a SESAM/SQL database after error situations have arisen that cannot be corrected by other means (see section “Potential error situations and appropriate recovery measures” ). The database administrator carries out repair and reset using the utility statement RECOVER.
It is also possible to use foreign copies instead of the SESAM backup copies created with COPY when performing the repair or reset of user spaces, the catalog space or the entire database (see section “Repair and reset using foreign copies” ).
Repair and reset of user spaces, the catalog space or the entire database are also possible with the aid of a replication. For information on this topic, refer to section “Database replication” or section “Database replication”.
Repair and reset are described in detail in “Media recovery”.
