Format=Old_File
Format=New_Tape
Specifies whether the backup or optimized .aij file was written
in the old (disk-optimized) or the new (tape-optimized) format.
If you enter the RMU Dump After_Journal command without the
Format qualifier, the default is the Format=Old_Tape qualifier.
You must specify the same Format qualifier as was used with the
RMU Backup After_Journal command or the RMU Optimize After_
Journal command. If your .aij file resides on disk, you should
use the Format=Old_File qualifier.
If you specified the Format=Old_File qualifier when you optimized
or backed up the .aij file to tape, you must mount the backup
media by using the DCL MOUNT command before you issue the RMU
Dump After_Journal command. Because the RMU Dump After_Journal
command uses RMS to read the tape, the tape must be mounted as
an OpenVMS volume (that is, do not specify the /FOREIGN qualifier
with the MOUNT command).
If you specify the Format=New_Tape qualifier, you must mount the
backup media by using the DCL MOUNT /FOREIGN command before you
issue the RMU Dump After_Journal command.
Similarly, if you specify OpenVMS access (you do not specify
the /FOREIGN qualifier on the DCL MOUNT command) although your
.aij backup was created using the Format=New_Tape qualifier, you
receive an RMU-F-MOUNTFOR error.
The following tape qualifiers have meaning only when used in
conjunction with the Format=New_Tape qualifier:
