Question 3

Due to an application error, some data was deleted from a very large table residing in table space TS1. The table space was then renamed TS2 before the error was detected.

Unfortunately the PiT roll forward was done to a time that was too early and some critical transactions were missing when the database was brought back on-line. Which steps must be taken to ensure that the critical transactions which are currently missing from the database are correctly applied to the database and that table space TS1 is renamed TS2?
