directives

Directives for this function. The help for each function includes full information on the directives it can take. For complete information on each mfsims imsdbu directive, see mfsims imsdbu directives.

Comments:

You can combine a series of commands in an operating system command file. IMSDBU also supports its own Runlist command files. These are similar to operating system command files but allow you to process a series of functions as a group. A combination of operating system commands and Runlist files provides a great deal of flexibility for automating repetitive functions.

The Rollback (ROLB) function does not require that you specify the database-name or the filename.
