The pddbfrz command places a full HiRDB file (used through the last page of the file) that constitutes a user LOB RDAREA in frozen update status. You cannot update or delete LOB data in a HiRDB file that is in frozen update status.
Use this command to back up data without using pdcopy.
Specifies that HiRDB files are to be released from frozen update status.
When this option is omitted, the command places full HiRDB files in frozen update status. Note that you cannot place the first HiRDB file in an RDAREA in frozen update status.
- -r {RDAREA-name[,RDAREA-name]...|ALL}
- RDAREA-name
<identifier> ((1-30)) - Specifies the names of the RDAREAs that are to be placed in the frozen update status or released from frozen update status. You can specify only the names of user LOB RDAREAs.
- You can also use batch specification of RDAREA names. For details about batch specification of RDAREA names, see the 1.5.2 Batch specification of RDAREA names in operation commands.
- ALL
- Specifies that all user LOB RDAREAs are to be placed in the frozen update status. When the -d option is specified, the command releases all user LOB RDAREAs from frozen update status.
- Note that when the -q option is specified, the command processes the user LOB RDAREA with the specified generation number.
- Rules
- An error results if a specified RDAREA is not a user LOB RDAREA, a specified user LOB RDAREA contains a plug-in index, or a specified user LOB RDAREA is unused.
- If you are using the inner replica facility, you can also specify original and replica RDAREAs.
- If the same RDAREA name is specified more than once, the duplicate RDAREA name is ignored.
- You can specify a maximum of 128 RDAREA names. 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 you are using sh (Bourne shell), csh (C shell), or ksh (Korn shell), you must enclose the entire set of RDAREA names in single quotation marks (').
- -q generation-number
<unsigned integer> ((0-10))
Specifies a generation number for a replica RDAREA.
When you specify this option, make sure that an original RDAREA is specified in the -r option. An error results if you specify an original RDAREA whose replica RDAREAs have all been deleted or if you specify a regular RDAREA (one without a replica RDAREA).
