Abstract: DB2 for z/OS Version 9.1 introduced the ability of the BACKUP SYSTEM utility to dump either the source DB2 volumes to the DFSMShsm copy pools and to tape or to dump the copy pools to tape. The RESTORE SYSTEM utility can be used to restore the same data. Rarely, RESTORE SYSTEM has failed for a few users by allocating an ICF catalog whose volume has not yet been restored. This flash describes additional, non-DB2 authorization the submitter of the job must have when the input to RESTORE SYSTEM is on tape.
