DMU.HLB  —  RESTORE  qualifiers

1    /AUDIT

  Syntax:

      /AUDIT [= (quoted-string [, quoted-string]...)]
      /AUDIT=file-specification
      /NOAUDIT

  Use /AUDIT to create history list entries auditing the restoration of
  a  portion  of  the CDD directory hierarchy.  Entries are made in the
  history lists of each restored dictionary  directory,  subdictionary,
  and object.

  You can include explanatory text in history  list  entries  in  three
  ways:

   o  By specifying the /AUDIT qualifier.  If  you  include  no  quoted
      string or file-specification, DMU provides a default history list
      entry describing your operation.

   o  By including quoted  strings.   Enclose  each  quoted  string  in
      double  quotation  marks,  and  enclose  the series of strings in
      parentheses.  The parentheses are optional if  you  specify  only
      one quoted string.

   o  By specifying a file whose contents are to  be  included  in  the
      history  list  entry.   The  file specification is a standard VMS
      file specification, and the default file type is .DAT.   You  can
      include  no  more  than 64 input strings in a history list entry.
      DMU ignores any excess.

  With /NOAUDIT, no history list entries are created.  The  default  is
  /NOAUDIT.

2    /LOG

  Syntax:

      /LOG [= file-specification]
      /NOLOG

  Use /LOG to create  a  list  of  the  given  names  of  all  restored
  dictionary directories, subdictionaries, and objects.

  The file specification is a standard VMS  file  specification  naming
  the  file  into  which  the log is written.  The default file type is
  .LOG.  If you use /LOG without specifying a file, DMU writes the  log
  to SYS$OUTPUT.  With /NOLOG, no list is created.

  The default is /NOLOG.

3    /STAGE

  Syntax:

      /[NO]STAGE

  Use /STAGE to withhold committing changes in the CDD until the entire
  restoration is completed.  Use /NOSTAGE to make changes in the CDD as
  each dictionary directory,  subdictionary,  or  object  is  restored.
  /NOSTAGE is the default.

  Using /STAGE assures that no changes remain in the  dictionary  if  a
  command   is  interrupted.   However,  with  /STAGE,  execution  time
  increases   exponentially   with   the   number    of    directories,
  subdictionaries, and objects restored.

  With /NOSTAGE, execution time increases linearly with the  number  of
  directories,  subdictionaries,  or objects restored.  However, if you
  interrupt an unstaged RESTORE command, some of the changes remain  in
  the dictionary.

4    /SUBDICTIONARY

  Syntax:

      /[NO]SUBDICTIONARY

  Use /SUBDICTIONARY to restore subdictionaries as subdictionaries with
  their   original   file   names.   Use  /NOSUBDICTIONARY  to  restore
  subdictionaries as directories.

  /NOSUBDICTIONARY is the default.

5    /VERSION

  Syntax:

      /[NO]VERSION

  Use /VERSION to restore an object to a directory in which there is an
  object with the same name.  If you do not use the /VERSION qualifier,
  DMU will not restore an object whose name is the same as the name  of
  an already existing object.

  Use /NOVERSION to guarantee that you are not creating  an  additional
  version  of an object when you do not intend to do so.  /NOVERSION is
  the default.

  The results of using the /VERSION qualifier  vary  depending  on  the
  existing children of the destination directory.

   o  RESTORE/VERSION restores an object to a destination directory  if
      the destination directory does not already contain an object with
      the same name and same version number as the object in the backup
      file.   The  restored  object  has the same version number as the
      object in the backup file.

   o  RESTORE/VERSION restores an object to a destination directory and
      issues an informational message if the destination directory does
      not already contain an object with the same name and same version
      number  as  the object in the backup file, but it does contain an
      object with the same name  and  a  higher  version  number.   For
      example,  the backup file contains TEST_REC;2 and the destination
      directory contains only TEST_REC;3.   DMU  restores  the  object,
      giving  it  the same name and version number as the object in the
      backup file, and issues an informational message.

   o  RESTORE/VERSION does not restore an  object  if  the  destination
      directory  contains  an  object  with  the  same name and version
      number as an object in the backup file.  For  example,  DMU  does
      not  restore  TEST_REC;2  if  the  destination  directory already
      contains an object named TEST_REC;2.

  By default, a restored version of  an  object  has  the  same  access
  control  list and history list as the highest existing version of the
  object in the destination directory.  If the access control  list  is
  included  in  the backup file, it will be restored with the object if
  you have CONTROL privilege at the highest  existing  version  of  the
  object in the destination directory.
