A system and method for performing database recovery operations. A
mainframe computer may include multiple databases stored on a storage
unit. A processing unit may be configured to receive and schedule jobs
submitted for execution. An electronic display may be in communication
with the processing unit. A software program may be executed by the
processing unit and be configured to cause the processing unit to (i)
display a menu of selectable database recovery operations on the
electronic display, (ii) receive a selection of a database of the
databases on which to perform a database recovery operation, (iii)
display a list of valid database recovery timestamps, (iv) display a
database recovery parameter entry screen in response to receiving a
database recovery operation selection, and (v) generate information
including parameters entered in the database recovery parameter entry
screen for use in performing the selected database recovery operation on
the selected database.
