Open_Mode=Automatic Open_Mode=Manual Allows you to change the mode for opening a database when you restore that database. When you specify Open_Mode=Automatic, users can invoke the database immediately after it is restored. If you specify Open_Mode=Manual, an RMU Open command must be used to open the database before users can invoke the database. The Open_Mode qualifier also specifies the mode for closing a database. If you specify Open_Mode=Automatic, you can also use the Close_Wait qualifier to specify a time in minutes before the database is automatically closed. If you do not specify the Open_Mode qualifier, the database is restored with the open mode of the database that was in effect when the database was backed up.
