ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus that automates the database recovery process. A person not technically skilled in the use of a computer can operate the new procedure. The process operates under a system in which menus known as "panels" prompt the user for information and process selection. The user merely selects one of the panels to start and operate the system. Each recovery procedure follows the same general series of steps comprising of initialization of system location and variables, selection by the operator of major functions including research, recovery, and cleanup, process of the function and function options, and execution of the mode in which the function will be processed. This panel driven system results in a significant reduction of the amount of time required for recovery, at least a twenty percent decrease for the period. In accordance with the present invention, the user identifies the corrupted database and enters the database name and estimated time stamp into the computer. The database recovery system automatically creates program control language and executes the language wherein the result provides a new, more accurate time stamp. The recovery system then creates additional program control language using the new time stamp and executes the program control language which then recovers the uncorrupted data. The user does not need to look up, write, or enter any program control language. These functions are fully automated.
