Options=options-list
Specifies the type of information and level of detail the output
will include. If you do not specify the Options qualifier or if
you specify the Options=Normal qualifier, the backup file will
be read, but dump output is not generated. This is useful for
confirming that the backup file is structured correctly and
the media is readable for the RMU Restore command. However,
this command does not indicate if the data in a backup file is
corrupted, nor does it guarantee that a restore operation will
succeed.
If you specify more than one option, you must separate the
options with a comma, and enclose the options-list parameter
within parentheses. Eight types of output are available:
o Records
Dumps the backup file record structure.
o Blocks
Dumps the backup file block structure.
o Data
The Data option can be used with either the Records option,
the Blocks option, or both. When specified with the Records
and Blocks options, the Data option dumps the contents of the
backup file's records and blocks. When you do not specify the
Data option, the Records and Blocks options dump the backup
file's record structure and block structure only, not their
contents.
o Journal
Dumps the contents of the journal file.
Use the Journal option of the RMU Dump Backup_File command to
direct Oracle RMU to dump the journal file created with the
RMU Backup command with the Journal qualifier. The RMU Backup
command with the Journal qualifier creates a journal file
to which it writes a description of the backup operation,
including identification of the tape volumes and their
contents. You can use the output of the RMU Dump Backup_File
with the Journal qualifier to identify the contents of each of
the tapes that comprises the backup file.
o Root
Dumps the database root file contents as recorded in the
backup file. This includes a dump of the database backup
header information.
o Normal
The backup file will be read, but no dump output is generated.
This is useful to verify the integrity of the backup file
format and to detect media errors.
o Full
Specifying the Full option is the same as specifying the Root,
Records, and Blocks options. Includes a dump of the database
backup header information. The contents of the backup file's
record structure and block structure are not dumped when the
Full option is specified.
o Debug
Specifying the Debug option is the same as specifying the
Root, Records, Blocks, Full, and Data options. The contents
of the backup file's header, record structure, and block
structure are dumped when the Debug option is specified.
