    Noafter_Journal

                                   NOTE

       This qualifier is maintained for compatibility with versions
       of Oracle Rdb prior to Version 6.0. You might find it more
       useful to specify the Aij_Options qualifier, unless you are
       interested in creating an extensible .aij file only. (An
       extensible .aij file is one that is extended by a specified
       amount when it reaches a certain threshold of fullness-
       assuming there is sufficient space on the disk where it
       resides.)

    Specifies how RMU Restore is to handle after-image journaling and
    .aij file creation, using the following rules:

    o  If you specify the After_Journal qualifier and provide a file
       specification, the RMU process creates a new extensible .aij
       file and enables journaling.

    o  If you specify the After_Journal qualifier but you do not
       provide a file specification, RMU Restore creates a new
       extensible .aij file with the same name as the journal that
       was active at the time of the backup operation.

    o  If you specify the Noafter_Journal qualifier, RMU Restore
       disables after-image journaling and does not create a new .aij
       file. Note that if you specify the Noafter_Journal qualifier
       there will be a gap in the sequence of the .aij files. For
       example, suppose your database has .aij file sequence number 1
       when you back it up. If you issue an RMU Restore command with
       the Noafter_Journal qualifier, the .aij file sequence number
       will be changed to 2. This means that you cannot (and do not
       want to) apply the original .aij file to the restored database
       (doing so would result in a sequence mismatch).

    o  If you do not specify an After_Journal, Noafter_Journal, Aij_
       Options, or Noaij_Options qualifier, RMU Restore recovers the
       journal state (enabled or disabled) and tries to reuse the
       .aij file or files. (See the Description help entry under this
       command for details on when automatic .aij file recovery is
       not attempted.)

    When you specify an .aij file name, you should specify a new
    device and directory for the .aij file. If you do not specify a
    device and directory, you receive a warning message. To protect
    yourself against media failures, put the .aij file on a different
    device from that of your database files.

    If the original database is lost or corrupted but the journal
    files are unaffected, you would typically restore the database
    without the use of either the Aij_Options or the After_Journal
    qualifier.

    The After_Journal qualifier conflicts with the Area and
    Incremental qualifiers; you cannot specify the After_Journal
    qualifier and either of these two other qualifiers in the same
    RMU Restore command line.

    You cannot use the After_Journal qualifier to create fixed-size
    .aij files; use the Aij_Options qualifier.
