DUMP FILES
DUMP FILES
The DUMP FILES command copies audited files to either tape or disk, producing
online dumps. These online dumps might be used later if file recovery is initiated
through a RECOVER FILES command.
file-set
identifies the audited files to be dumped to tape or disk. You must specifically
name alternate-key files and partitions of partitioned files in file-set if you want
them to be dumped. Nonaudited files are not dumped. If you specify the fully
qualified file name of a nonaudited file, an error message stating the file was not
dumped is displayed. 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

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.
