Legend:
ANY: Can be executed whether or not HiRDB is active.
ACT: Can be executed only while HiRDB is active.
INA: Can be executed only while HiRDB is inactive.
SDS: For a HiRDB/Single Server, the command is executed on the server machine of the single server.
MGR: For a HiRDB/Parallel Server, the command is executed on the server machine where the system manager is located.
Note
A file that is specified in an operation command or utility that is executing must not be in use at the same time by another operation command, utility, or UAP; doing so will result in an error and cause the processing results to be invalidated.
#1
Can be executed by the HiRDB administrator acting in concert with the auditor.
#2
For details, see the HiRDB Version 9 UAP Development Guide.
#3
Includes system log files and synchronization point dump files.
