VMS Help  —  RMU72  Set  After Journal, Command Qualifiers, Suppress
    Suppress=(Name=name)

    Prevents further use of the named after-image journal object. The
    named after-image journal object must be an existing after-image
    journal object.

    This qualifier is useful when you want to temporarily disallow
    the use of an .aij file. For example, suppose the disk containing
    the next .aij file to use goes off line. You do not want the
    database to attempt to access that file until the disk is back on
    line. Use the Suppress qualifier so the database does not attempt
    to access the specified .aij file. When the disk is back on line,
    use the RMU Set After_Journal command with the Alter qualifier
    to unsuppress the after-image journal object that references this
    .aij file.

    You can specify the Suppress qualifier while users are attached
    to the database, but the .aij file referenced by the after-image
    journal object must not be the current journal or be waiting
    to be backed up. You must back up the referenced .aij file
    before the after-image journal object that references it can
    be suppressed.

    The Suppress qualifier is processed prior to any Drop, Add, or
    Alter qualifiers specified with the same command.
