ALTER DUMPS

The ALTER DUMPS command changes dump entries in the TMF catalog.

file-set

identifies the dump files whose entries are to be changed.

For online dumps, enter file-set in the following format:

[[{volume | *}.]{subvolume | *}.]{file-id | *}

An asterisk (*) indicates “all”; thus, *.* indicates all files in all subvolumes on the

default volume.

For audit dumps, enter file-set in the following format:

$ZTMFAT.ZTMFAT.{file-id | *}

An asterisk (*) indicates all files in the $ZTMFAT.ZTMFAT subvolume. $ZTMFAT

and ZTMFAT are pseudo or dummy volume and subvolume names, respectively,

used to support TMF's ability to spread audit-trail files across multiple disk

volumes.

INVALID {OFF | ON}

determines whether a dump file is available for file recovery.

OFF denotes that the file is readable and can be used for file recovery. When a file

is created, its catalog entry reflects this condition.

ON changes the catalog entry for each specified file to indicate that the file is

unreadable and therefore cannot be used.

RELEASED {OFF | ON}

determines whether the specified dumps are available for file recovery.

OFF changes the entries for the specified dumps to indicate that you want these

dumps to remain available. Use this option if TMF has marked a dump for deletion

from the catalog, but you still want to be able to use that dump.
