FORCE: Allowing recovery from a DASD backup copy that has an incomplete dump copy

Explanation: FORCE is an optional parameter that allows you to force fast replication recovery of a copy pool from a DASD backup copy with an in-progress dump to tape or otherwise incomplete dump copy. Any in-progress dump to tape of the DASD backup copy is terminated. In addition, the FORCE parameter also allows the recovery of a copy pool to proceed when the recovery operation (such as fast reverse restore) will invalidate the DASD backup copy. In a situation where the DASD backup copy is invalided, the incomplete dump cannot be resumed.

Defaults: None.
