Y2K testing without making disk BACKUPs?

» close window

The Question is:

 
As part of doing Y2K testing, we changed our system time to a future date
and  somebody reserved a file from CMS.
 
Now when the system time is back to current time, CMS doesnot allow us to do
any function.
 
please help.
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  You will need to use VERIFY/REPAIR to repair the CMS library, if you
  cannot restore it from a BACKUP made immediately prior to the Y2K
  testing.  Use the DEFINE CMS$LIB mechanism to reference the CMS
  library, then issue the command CMS VERIFY/REPAIR.
 
  There are explicit directions on properly performing Y2K testing that
  are available at the OpenVMS website, directions that are expressly
  intended to avoid this and other similar situations.
