Commit NoCommit Instructs Oracle RMU to commit the converted database to the current version of Oracle Rdb before completing the restore operation. Use this qualifier only when the backup file being restored is from a previous version of Oracle Rdb. The conversion is permanent and the database cannot be returned to the previous version. The NoCommit qualifier instructs Oracle RMU not to commit the converted database. In this case, you can rollback the database to its original version using the RMU Convert command with the Rollback qualifier, or you can permanently commit it to the current version by issuing the RMU Convert command with the Commit qualifier. It is important to either Commit or Rollback the conversion after you have verified that the conversion was successful otherwise unnecessary space is taken up in the database to store the obsolete alternate version of the metadata. (RMU will not let you convert to a newer version if the previous Convert was never committed, even if it was years ago.) The Commit qualifier is the default.
