Rewind Norewind Specifies that the tape that will contain the .oaij file be rewound before processing begins. The tape will be initialized according to the Label qualifier. The Norewind qualifier is the default and causes the optimized .oaij file to be written starting at the current logical end-of-tape (EOT). The Norewind and Rewind qualifiers are applicable only to tape devices. Oracle RMU returns an error message if these qualifiers are used and the target device is not a tape device.
