The SET FILE/RU_FACILITY command allows you to identify the recoverable facility that controls active recovery units on the file. You can use any other SET FILE qualifier with the /RU_ FACILITY qualifier. When a data file has active recovery units and RMS journaling cannot resolve the recovery units (for example, if the recovery unit journal is unavailable), the data file cannot be opened or deleted. The presence of active recovery units prevents you from unmarking (or marking) a file for any journaling type. With the SET FILE/RU_FACILITY/RU_ACTIVE command, you can clear the designated recoverable facility that controls active recovery units for the data file. CAUTION When you clear the RU_FACILITY attribute (with 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.
