- -r {RDAREA-name[,RDAREA-name]...|ALL}
- -r RDAREA-name
<identifier> ((1-30)) - Specifies the name of an RDAREA that is to be opened. You can also use batch specification of RDAREA names. For details about batch specification of RDAREA names, see 1.5.2 Batch specification of RDAREA names in operation commands.
- ALL
- Specifies that all RDAREAs are to be opened, except for the master directory RDAREA. When the -q option is specified, the command opens the RDAREAs of the same generation.
- Rules
- An already open RDAREA cannot be opened again.
- The same RDAREA name should not be specified more than once; if specified, a duplicate RDAREA name is ignored.
- A maximum of 128 RDAREA names can be specified. If more than 128 RDAREA names are specified, the excess names are ignored.
- If an RDAREA name is enclosed in double quotation marks ("), the system treats it as being case sensitive; otherwise, the system treats it as all uppercase letters. If an RDAREA name contains a space, enclose the entire name in double quotation marks ("). If the Bourne shell (sh), C shell (csh), or Korn shell (ksh) is used, it is also necessary to enclose the entire set of RDAREA names in single quotation marks (').
- When a user RDAREA or user LOB RDAREA is specified, the corresponding data dictionary RDAREA must be in one of the following statuses:
- Open and shutdown release status
- Open and shutdown status placed by the pdhold command
- If you specify data dictionary RDAREAs, user RDAREAs, and user LOB RDAREAs at the same time, make sure that the data dictionary RDAREA names are specified last.
- If you are using the inner replica facility, you can also specify original and replica RDAREA names. In this case, you can specify only user RDAREAs and user LOB RDAREAs.
- -q generation-number
<unsigned integer> ((0-10))
Specifies the generation number of a replica RDAREA.
If you specify this option, make sure that the original RDAREA name is specified in the -r option. An error results if you specify an original RDAREA whose replicas have all been deleted or a normal RDAREA (one without a replica RDAREA).
