RECOVER FILES Command Specification
Enter file-set in the following format:
[[volume.]subvolume.]file-id
In the file-set list, file names are expanded with default volume and
subvolume names, and the space required for them is impacted by other overhead
as well. All file-set information cannot exceed the size of the SPI message
buffer that supports communication between TMFCOM and TMFSERVE, which is
28 KB. If this limit is exceeded, TMFCOM displays Error Message 1050.
You can specify a file-set as a file-name pattern. This pattern resembles a file
name but designates a set of entities (that is, a set of disk volumes, subvolumes,
or files) through the use of pattern-matching (wild-card) characters. The wild-card
characters are:
* An asterisk matches zero or more letters, digits, or a combination of these.
? A question mark matches exactly one letter or digit.
The file-name pattern syntax is:
[[$pattern.]pattern.]pattern
In this syntax, pattern consists of one or more characters. Allowable characters
are letters, digits, asterisks (*), and question marks (?). The maximum length of a
pattern is 8 characters, including wild-card characters. Wild-card characters can
appear in any portion of a name, for as many times as there can be characters in
that portion.
Examples:
Note. If you plan to refer to SQL/MX objects in a file-set list, you must use the
Guardian names of the underlying files in all TMFCOM commands. You can run the
MXGNAMES utility to convert one or more objects’ ANSI names to their underlying
Guardian file names. You can then use the Guardian file names in the file-set list. For
convenience, MXGNAMES provides an option that generates names formatted as TMF
file-sets for direct use in TMFCOM commands. For information about using MXGNAMES,
see the SQL/MX Reference Manual.
* matches all files in the current subvolume
*z* matches all files in the current subvolume that have IDs containing
the letter “z.”
$DISK?? matches all disk volumes at the current node that have 7-character
names starting with “$DISK,” such as $DISK01” and “$DISK26.”
P*.* matches all disk files on the current volume that are in subvolumes
whose names begin with the letter “P.”
