Using the Database Utilities

DBRESTOR

Console Messages

After you supply the database name and DBRESTOR opens the ﬁle speciﬁed by

filename

, a

message is displayed on the system console. A tape must be mounted on the appropriate

unit and identiﬁed through an operator reply. Refer to Volume Management Reference

Manual for instructions about console interaction.

If the database is on more than one volume, another message is displayed on the system

console. The operator must mount the next volume in the sequence. If the volume that is

mounted is not the correct format, the operator is notiﬁed through a console message. If

the correct volume is available, the incorrect one should be removed and the correct one

mounted. The operator must enter a reply on the console.

Example

:JOB MRG.ACCOUNTA

Initiate job.

:RUN DBRESTOR.PUB.SYS

Initiate DBRESTOR.

ORDERS/SELL

Specify database name and maintenance word.

:EOJ

Terminate job.

After creating the ﬁles and restoring the ﬁle contents, DBRESTOR prints the following

message on $STDLIST:

DATABASE RESTORED

NOTE

If there is already a copy of the database on disc, it must be purged using

DBUTIL before running DBRESTOR.
