-f dfmove

This BRSPACE function moves a data file. For more information, see Moving a Data File with BR*Tools.

Function options:

-c|-force: forces database shutdown for move
Default: do not force shutdown if a SAP user is connected
-d|-destination: specifies the destination for the move
Syntax: -d|-destination <sapdata_dir>|<sapraw_dir>

<sapdata_dir>|<sapraw_dir> specifies a sapdata or sapraw (UNIX only) directory

Default: none, since you must always specify the move destination
-f|-file: specifies the data file name
Syntax: -f|-file all_df|<file>|<file_id>|<file_id1>-<file_id2>|<sapdata_dir>|sapdata<N>|sapraw|<win_drive>:|+<asm_disk>|<file_list>

all_df: all eligible data files (for example, from the specified tablespaces)

<file>|<file_id>|<file_list>: specifies the data file(s) using the file names / IDS

<sapdata_dir>|sapdata<N>|sapraw: specifies the data file(s) using sapdata / sapraw directory

<win_drive>: specifies the data file(s) using the Windows disk drive letter

+<asm_disk>: specifies the data file(s) using the ASM disk group

Default: none, since you must always define the file name
-p|-parallel: specifies how many copy processes run in parallel to move multiple files
Syntax: -p|-parallel <count>

<count> specifies the number of parallel copy processes

Default: 1, that is, a single process
-r|-rawlink: defines the destination of a raw disk or a link to a non-sapdata directory. This is defined as follows:
- For a raw disk, the SAP convention is to create a softlink in the directory /oracle/<DBSID>/sapraw
- For a link to a destination outside sapdata, such as to /oracle/temp, the new file directory is added as a symbolic link
Syntax: -r|-rawlink <link target>

<link target> specifies the link target

Default: no raw link
-t|-tablespace: specifies the tablespace(s) for which data files are to be moved
Syntax: -t|-tablespace <tablespace>|<tablespace_list>

Default: none, but you can specify data files explicitly with option -f (see above)
