/RECOVERY_MODE (default)
/NORECOVERY_MODE
Enables or disables product reconfiguration in recovery mode. The
directories, files, and libraries that are modified or deleted
in the reconfiguration process are saved in a directory tree on
the system disk unless you specify /NORECOVERY_MODE. These files,
along with a copy of the product database, comprise the recovery
data set.
The recovery data set is handled somewhat differently when
a reconfiguration ends successfully or if it terminates
unsuccessfully.
o If a reconfiguration terminates in its execution phase, either
voluntarily (by using Ctrl/Y or Ctrl/C) or involuntarily
(because of a fatal error), the saved recovery data is used to
roll back all the displaced objects in an attempt to reinstate
the product environment prior to the interrupted operation.
Then the recovery data set is deleted.
o At the end of a successful reconfiguration, the recovery data
set is deleted.
