Syntax Syntax

  1. dismount_cmd = <cmd>
End of the code.

Default value: none. For backup_dev_type = tape_box | pipe_box this parameter must be defined in the initialization profile.

The dismount command uses its own options:

dismount_cmd = "<dismount_cmd> $ $ [ $ ] "

<dismount_cmd>: Command name

The command name might be, for example, dismount.csh.

Do not forget to enclose the parameter specifications composed of several values in double quotes. The $ characters stand, in the following order, for:

  1. The name of the database to be backed up

  2. The addresses of the tape devices

  3. Optional: name of a file for additional configuration parameters (parameter: mount_par_file)

    Caution Caution

    The dismount or mount command must be created by the user in the form of a program, a shell script or a batch file.

    If the dismount command has been performed successfully the exit code 0 is displayed. No other output is displayed. The only possible outputs not recognized as errors are messages beginning with the characters #INFO.

    End of the caution.
