Restore_Metadata=file-spec

    Specifies that the RMU Unload After_Journal command is to read
    database metadata information from the specified file. The
    Database parameter is required but the database itself is not
    accessed when the Restore_Metadata qualifier is specified. The
    default file type is .metadata. The Continuous qualifier is not
    allowed when the Restore_Metadata qualifier is present.

    Because the database is not available when the Restore_Metadata
    qualifier is specified, certain database-specific actions cannot
    be taken. For example, checks for after-image journaling are
    disabled. Because the static copy of the metadata information is
    not updated as database structure and table changes are made, it
    is important to make sure that the metadata file is saved after
    database DML operations.

    When the Restore_Metadata qualifier is specified, additional
    checks are made to ensure that the after-image journal files
    were created using the same database that was used to create the
    metadata file. These checks provide additional security and help
    prevent accidental mismatching of files.
