Accept_Label
Specifies that Oracle RMU should keep the current tape label it
finds on a tape during an optimize-to-tape operation even if that
label does not match the default label or that specified with
the Label qualifier. Operator notification does not occur unless
the tape's protection, owner, or expiration date prohibit writing
to the tape. However, a message is logged (assuming logging is
enabled) to indicate that a label is being preserved and which
drive currently holds that tape.
This qualifier is particularly useful when your optimize-to-tape
operation employs numerous previously used (and thus labeled)
tapes and you want to preserve the labels currently on the tapes.
If you do not specify this qualifier, the default behavior
of Oracle RMU is to notify the operator each time it finds a
mismatch between the current label on the tape and the default
label (or the label you specify with the Label qualifier).
See the description of the Labels qualifier under this command
for information on default labels. See How Tapes are Relabeled
During a Backup Operation in the Usage_Notes help entry under
the Backup Database help entry for a summary of which labels are
applied under a variety of circumstances.
