Getting information about dump files

If you are unsure of the contents of a tape, use the with headeronly or with listonly option of the load commands to request that information.

Table 27-18 shows the syntax for finding the contents of a tape.

Table 27-18: Listing dump headers or file names

Listing information about a dump

load {database | tran} database_name
from [compress::]stripe_device
[at server_name]
[density = density,
dumpvolume = volume_name
file = file_name]
[stripe on [compress::]stripe_device
[at server_name]
[density = density,
dumpvolume = volume_name,
file = file_name] ...]
[with{
density = density,
dumpvolume = volume_name,
file = file_name,
[nodismount | dismount],
[nounload | unload],

List header information

List files on tape

[headeronly [, file = filename ]], 
[listonly [= full]],
[notify = {client | operator_console}]
standby_access}]

NoteNeither with headeronly nor with listonly loads the dump files after displaying the report.
