The SET FILE/RU_ACTIVE command designates the recoverable facility that controls active recovery units for the file. Alternatively, when used with the /RU_FACILITY qualifier, the SET FILE/RU_ACTIVE command lets you clear the designated recoverable facility that controls active recovery units for the specified file. This is useful if a data file is unavailable due to active recovery units and an unavailable recovery unit journal. CAUTION When you clear the RU_ACTIVE attribute (using the command SET FILE/RU_ACTIVE=0/RU_FACILITY=1), the data in the file is likely to be in an inconsistent state. Do not use the data file unless you can ensure that the data is consistent. After clearing the RU_ACTIVE attribute, you can unmark the file for journaling, delete the file, and re-create a consistent file using a backup copy. You can determine the recoverable facility that controls active recovery units (if any) for the file by entering the DCL command DIRECTORY/FULL or DUMP/HEADER. You can use the ANALYZE/RMS_ FILE/RU_JOURNAL command to determine the state of any active recovery units.
