UNARCHIVE
The
UNARCHIVE
command recreates spool files that were archived with the
ARCHIVE
command.
Any subset of spool files in the archive may be extracted. If possible, the original device of the spool
file will be used when recreating the file. Pressing
Ctrl+y
will terminate the unarchiving and will
purge any partially recreated spool files.
If a user is unarchiving data from a
RELEASED
archive, this will be the only opportunity for the user
to alter the spool file unless the user normally has access to the spool file. Once the spool file is
unarchived, normal NBSpool security may prevent further changes to the spool file’s priority,
copies, and device.
The
NOQUOTE
parameter can be used to retain the original “look” of the job/session numbers when
the files are unarchived. This is most useful when recreating spool files after a
COOLSTART
or
START NORECOVERY
.
