HELPLIB.HLB  —  RMU72  Dump  Recovery Journal
    Displays a recovery-unit journal (.ruj) file in ASCII format. Use
    this command to examine the contents of an .ruj file. You might
    find .ruj files on your system following a system failure.

    An .ruj file contains header information and data blocks. Header
    information describes the data blocks, which contain copies of
    data modified in the database file.

1  –  Description

    The RMU Dump Recovery_Journal command specifies an .ruj file, not
    a database file, as its parameter, and is a separate command from
    the RMU Dump command used to display database areas and header
    information.

    The .ruj file is in binary format. This command translates the
    binary file into an ASCII display format.

3  –  Parameters

3.1  –  ruj-file-name

    The .ruj file. The default file type is .ruj.

4  –  Command Qualifiers

4.1  –  Data

    Data
    Nodata

    Specifies whether you want to display data blocks of the .ruj
    file or just the .ruj file header.

    The Data qualifier is the default. It causes the display of the
    .ruj file data blocks (in addition to the file header) in an
    ASCII display format.

    The Nodata qualifier limits the display to the file header of the
    .ruj file.

4.2  –  Output

    Output=file-name

    The name of the file where output will be sent. The default is
    SYS$OUTPUT. The default output file type is .lis, if you specify
    a file name.

5  –  Usage Notes

    o  You do not need Oracle RMU privileges to use the RMU Dump
       Recovery_Journal command. However, you must have OpenVMS READ
       access to the .ruj file or OpenVMS BYPASS privilege to use the
       RMU Dump Recovery_Journal command.

    o  The RMU Dump Recovery_Journal command does not validate the
       file being dumped. If the file is not an .ruj file, the output
       from the RMU Dump Recovery_Journal command is unintelligible.

    o  See the Oracle Rdb Guide to Database Maintenance for examples
       showing the RMU Dump Recovery_Journal command.
