VMS Help  —  RMU72  Dump  After journal, Usage Notes
    o  The First and Last qualifiers have been added to make
       dumping portions of the .aij file easier. The Start and End
       qualifiers were intended to provide similar functionality,
       but are difficult to use because you seldom know, nor can you
       determine, the AIJ record number prior to issuing the command.

    o  Be careful when searching for TSNs or TIDs as they are not
       ordered in the AIJ journal. For example, if you want to
       search for a specific TSN, use the Only qualifier and not
       the First and Last qualifiers. For example, assume the AIJ
       journal contains records for TSN 150, 170, and 160 (in that
       order). If you specify the First=TSN=160 and Last=TSN=160
       qualifiers, nothing will be dumped because TSN 170 will match
       the Last=TSN=160 criteria.

    o  To use the RMU Dump After_Journal command for an .aij file,
       you must have the RMU$DUMP privilege in the root file access
       control list (ACL) for the database or the OpenVMS SYSPRV or
       BYPASS privilege.

    o  You receive a file access error message regarding the
       database's .aij file if you issue the RMU Dump After_Journal
       command with the active .aij file when there are active
       processes updating the database. To avoid the file access
       error message, use the RMU Close command to close the database
       (which stops entries to the .aij file), then issue the RMU
       Dump After_Journal command.

    o  See the Oracle Rdb Guide to Database Maintenance for
       information on the steps Oracle RMU follows for tape label
       checking when you execute an RMU Dump After_Journal command
       using magnetic tapes.

    o  Use of the wrong value for the Format qualifier typically
       results in a failure, but sometimes may produce unintelligible
       results.

    o  The RMU Dump After_Journal command does not validate the file
       being dumped. If the file is not an .aij file or a backup
       of an .aij file, the RMU Dump After_Journal command produces
       unintelligible output.
