Abort=option

    Noabort

    Specifies whether to close the database immediately or allow
    processes to complete.

    The Abort qualifier has two options. Both refer to OpenVMS system
    services. The options are as follows:

    o  Forcex

       When you use the Forcex (forced exit) option, recovery units
       are recovered and no recovery-unit journal (.ruj) files are
       left in the directories. Therefore, the RMU Backup command
       works. The option cannot force an exit of a database process
       with a spawned subprocess or a suspended or swapped out
       process. It aborts batch jobs that are using the database.
       Forcex is the default.

    o  Delprc

       When you use the Delprc (delete process) option, recovery
       units are not recovered. The .ruj files are left in the
       directories to be recovered on the next invocation of the
       database. The processes and any subprocesses of all database
       users are deleted, thereby deleting the processes from the
       database. Therefore, if you attempt to issue an RMU Backup
       command, you might receive the following error message:

       %RMU-F-MUSTRECDB, database must be closed or recovered

    The Delprc and Forcex options are based on OpenVMS system
    services $DELPRC and $FORCEX. Refer to the OpenVMS documentation
    set for more information.

    With the Noabort option, users already attached to the database
    can continue, and the root file global sections remain mapped
    in the virtual address file contents until all users exit
    the database. No new users will be allowed to attach to the
    database. When all current images terminate, Oracle RMU closes
    the database.
