Q:

How do you synchronize the GDG backup files with the list of restorable jobs?


A:

By periodically running job JSFDPVSM. It deletes records from the VSAM History file, which is the basis for the list of restorable jobs. It deletes records based on your number of days parm, so set this parm to the approximate number of days that the backup GDGs remain on the system.
