USING A CUT AND PASTE SEGMENT FOR READING A STANDARD HOUSEKEEPING DATA SET - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17453878 titled 'USING A CUT AND PASTE SEGMENT FOR READING A STANDARD HOUSEKEEPING DATA SET

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a method for recovering data from a tape media in a tape drive when encountering an error while reading the data. The method involves using a cut and paste error recovery procedure (ERP) to recover the data.

  • The method involves receiving a request to reposition the tape media in the tape drive.
  • If an error is encountered while reading the data, one segment from the data set cut and paste ERP is used for the recovery.
  • The recovered data is then released to the data set cut and paste ERP.

Potential Applications

  • Data recovery from tape media in tape drives.
  • Error recovery procedures for reading data sets.

Problems Solved

  • Errors encountered while reading data from tape media.
  • Recovery of data sets from tape drives.

Benefits

  • Improved data recovery process.
  • Efficient error recovery procedures.
  • Increased reliability of reading data from tape media.


Original Abstract Submitted

In an approach to using a cut and paste segment for reading an sHKDS, a request to reposition a tape media in a tape drive is received. Responsive to encountering an error reading an sHKDS while attempting to reposition the tape media, one segment of a plurality of segments from a data set cut and paste error recovery procedure (ERP) is used for an sHKDS cut and paste ERP. Responsive to recovering the sHKDS using the sHKDS cut and paste ERP, the one segment reserved for the sHKDS cut and paste ERP is released to the data set cut and paste ERP.
