Guidelines

If you specify VERIFYTAPE ON, you must specify either LISTONLY ON or
LISTONLY DETAIL.

To specify a list of all the objects on tape, you can specify mx cat * and oss /.

If you specify LISTONLY ON or LISTONLY DETAIL:

The restore job runs without restoring any objects.

You cannot specify LISTALL ON or LISTALL DETAIL.

If you specify both the DIRECTORY job option and LISTONLY ON or LISTONLY
DETAIL job options, the restore job does not use the tape drive but uses the BRIC
disk file. You must specify a tape device name, but the device does not need to
exist as the tape drive is not used.

If you do not specify the DIRECTORY job option with LISTONLY ON or LISTONLY
DETAIL job options, a tape drive is required because the BRIC tape file is used for
the restore job.

If you specify the LISTONLY ON or LISTONLY DETAIL but omit the OUT job
option, the output is directed to your current terminal. The BRCOM prompt does
not return until the job completes unless you press the Break key.

If you specify the LISTONLY ON or LISTONLY DETAIL job option and the OUT job
option, the LISTONLY output is directed to the specified out file.

You should monitor EMS messages because some messages are only sent as
EMS messages, not as output to the terminal or OUT file.
LOCATION Job Option
Use this job option to change the physical location of SQL/MX objects as they are
restored. You can use this job option to specify one or more mappings.
