VERIFY-IMAGE

Verifies that one or more physical save tapes or tape images are readable.

Syntax

VERIFY-IMAGE

Restrictions

VERIFY-IMAGE is only available in the SYSMAN and SYSPROG accounts.
VERIFY-IMAGE may only be run by the database owner.
Only one instance of VERIFY-IMAGE may be run at a time on a database. VERIFY-IMAGE cannot be run at the same time as any of the other physical save and restore commands.

See also the Overview of Save and Restore.

Comments

VERIFY-IMAGE prompts for the tape units to be assigned. If you press RETURN without entering any tape unit numbers, VERIFY-IMAGE exits without performing the save.

Note: If your backup was saved using multi-deck parallel save, you must enter the same number of tape units as used when saving. If you need more tapes than you have tape decks, you can use tape images as additional decks.

VERIFY-IMAGE is a Proc that runs the IMG.VERIFY command. If VERIFY-IMAGE does not suit your requirements and you are experienced in writing Procs, you can copy the VERIFY-IMAGE Proc from file SYSPROG-PL and customise it to meet your needs.

Caution

Do not change the standard VERIFY-IMAGE Proc. Always copy standard Procs into your own Proc library file and make any changes to your copy.
