Abstract
A method and system for rebuilding storage structures located within one or more structure processing facilities of a data processing system. A connection is made to a first storage structure having a name and one or more predefined characteristics. Thereafter, a second storage structure is allocated having the same name as the first structure, however, one or more of the predefined characteristics of the second structure are different than the predefined characteristics of the first structure. The second structure may be used for planned system reconfigurations or for recovery from system failures. During the rebuilding process, notification of phases of the rebuilding process are given to the active users. Further, a capability is provided for terminating the rebuilding process. In addition, a method and system for coordinating phases of user defined processing is provided.
