- -r {RDAREA-name[,RDAREA-name]...|ALL}
- -r RDAREA-name
<identifier> ((1-30)) - Specifies the name of an RDAREA that is to be released from shutdown status. 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 released from shutdown status, except the master directory RDAREA. When the -q option is specified, the command processes RDAREAs of the same generation.
- Rules
- The master directory RDAREA cannot be specified.
- The same RDAREA name cannot be specified more than once; if an RDAREA name is duplicated, the 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, you must 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 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.
When you specify this option, specify the original RDAREA name in the -r option. An error results if all the replicas of the specified original RDAREA have been deleted, or if a normal RDAREA (that has no replica RDAREA) is specified.
Specifies that the RDAREA is to be opened after being released from shutdown status. When this specification is omitted, the RDAREA is only released from shutdown status.
