RDFSNOOP Utility
RDFSNOOP Utility
RDFSNOOP is a utility that is used to examine image file records pointed to by RDF 
exception files. RDFSNOOP does not have a set of commands, but it does prompt you 
for information about the exception files.
To use RDFSNOOP, enter RDFSNOOP at the TACL prompt:
> RDFSNOOP
RDFSNOOP prompts you for the RDF control subvolume name.
Input control subvolume name:
Enter the subvolume name. Then RDFSNOOP prompts you for the volume name:
Input volume name:
Enter the name of the volume for which you want to see exception records. If no 
exception records were written for that volume, RDFSNOOP displays this message:
No exception records written for specified volume.
If the specified volume has exception records, RDFSNOOP displays the image records 
where the exceptions occurred. Here is an example of a formatted display of an RDF 
exception record: 
Input control subvolume name: PRIM1
Input volume name: $TEST3
