Options=options-list
The following options can be specified:
o File=file-spec
An options file contains a list of tables and output
destinations. The options file can be used instead of, or
along with, the Table qualifier to specify the tables to be
extracted. Each line of the options file must specify a table
name prefixed with "Table=". After the table name, the output
destination is specified as either "Output=", or "Callback_
Module=" and "Callback_Routine=", for example:
TABLE=tblname,OUTPUT=outfile
TABLE=tblname,CALLBACK_MODULE=image,CALLBACK_ROUTINE=routine
You can use the Record_Definition=file-spec option from the
Table qualifier to create a record definition file for the
output data. The default file type is .rrd; the default file
name is the name of the table.
You can use the Table_Definition=file-spec option from
the Table qualifier to create a file that contains an SQL
statement that creates a table to hold transaction data. The
default file type is .sql; the default file name is the name
of the table.
Each option in the Options=File qualifier must be fully
specified (no abbreviations are allowed) and followed with
an equal sign (=) and a value string. The value string must
be followed by a comma or the end of a line. Continuation
lines can be specified by using a trailing dash. Comments are
indicated by using the exclamation point (!) character.
You can use the asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%)
wildcard characters in the table name specification to select
all tables that satisfy the components you specify. The
asterisk matches zero or more characters; the percent sign
matches a single character.
For table name specifications that contain wild card
characters, if the first character of the string is a pound
sign (#), the wildcard specification is changed to a "not
matching" comparison. This allows exclusion of tables based
on a wildcard specification. The pound sign designation is
only evaluated when the table name specification contains an
asterisk or percent sign.
For example, a table name specification of "#FOO%" indicates
that all table names that are four characters long and do not
start with the string "FOO" are to be selected.
o Shared_Read
Specifies that the input after-image journal backup files are
to be opened with an RMS shared locking specification.
o Dump
Specifies that the contents of an input metadata file are to
be formatted and displayed. Typically, this information is
used as a debugging tool.
