The recovery files cannot be used after a contingency start is
issued. If the user needs to save the recovery files for review at
a later time, move these files to another directory. Do not
rename the recovery files because the software deletes all files
found in the recovery file directories.
These activities allow FileServ to return to a known processing
state when a normal start cannot be performed.
Step 1. Run the FileServ -c command.
Step 2. Press <RETURN> to cancel the contingency startup
or enter Y for yes.
Caution
All files in the recovery directory are deleted during a
contingency start. To retain files, move all recovery files to a
different directory.
