cpio_flags

This parameter defines flags for cpio commands that the SAP tools use to write files to a tape volume.

cpio_flags = <flags>
         

Default value: -ovB

The flag B causes a block size of 5 KB to be used. You can also use a higher block size, such as 64 KB (if cpio permits this for your hardware platform) to increase performance when writing to tape.

The block size in cpio_flags and cpio_in_flags must be the same.
