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 12-19 shows the syntax for finding the contents of a tape.

Table 12-19: Listing dump headers or file names

Listing information about a dump

load {database | tran} database_name  from [compress::]stripe_device   [at backup_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,    compression = compress_level,    dumpvolume = volume_name,    file = file_name,    [nodismount | dismount],    [nounload | unload],    passwd = password,

List files on tape

   listonly [= full],

List header information

   headeronly [, file = filename ],

   notify = {client |       operator_console}}]]

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