Scans an after-image file and displays information from its first and last block.

Syntax

rfutil db-name -C aimage summary  {-a ai-name|-ailist listfile}

Parameters

db-name
Specifies the database that you are using.
-a ai-name
Identifies the AI area of the specified database.
-ailist listfile

Identifies a file containing a list of AI area files. The listfile file must be structured as follows:

  • Specify one AI file per line
  • AI file names can be fully specified absolute file name or a relative file name relative to the working directory where RFUTIL is executed
  • Lines that begin with a colon (:), hash mark (#), or asterisk (*) are treated as comments and skipped over for parsing
Note: If you specify a list of AI files with -ailist and a file is not an AI file, a warning is issued and the file is skipped.

Notes

  • The specified database must be offline.

  • The specified database does not need to belong to the AI files. The command determines the AI block size from the AI files, and prints it out as part of the output. If you use a temporary or dummy database, however, it must have the same AI block size as the database associated with the AI files being read. See Show an after-image file summary.

  • The AIMAGE SUMMARY qualifier fails if:
    • You omit the AI Filename (-a) or AI List (-ailist) parameter.
    • It cannot open the AI area.
    • The specified database is online.
