The recovery specification designates the title of the RECOVERY code file for the database.

The following diagram illustrates the syntax for specifying the RECOVERY code file:

<recovery specification>

── RECOVERY ── = ── <file title> ──────────────────────────────────────┤

Explanation

The file title can include a usercode and an ON <family name> specification. If the recovery specification is not designated, the default title for the RECOVERY code file is SYSTEM/DMRECOVERY. However, it is recommended that this file title be explicitly specified.

Family substitution occurs at run time for this title.

This file title is contained in the control file. At run time, the title is used to initiate the correct version of the software. Both the usercode of the running task and the family substitution have an effect on which version, if any, of the software is found.

Example

The following statement defines the name of the RECOVERY code file as SYSTEM/DMRECOVERY. The code file is located under the USER1 usercode on the PACK1 pack.

RECOVERY = (USER1)SYSTEM/DMRECOVERY ON PACK1;
