RDF State Requirement

You can only issue the UNPINAUDIT command while RDF is stopped.

Usage Guidelines

If the system at which you issue the UNPINAUDIT command is the primary system in more
than one RDF configuration, then you must open the RDF control subvolume and issue another
UNPINAUDIT command for each of the other RDF configurations as well. The TMF audit trail
files will not be unpinned until an UNPINAUDIT command has been executed for all RDF
configurations that use them.
If you cannot remember all of the RDF configurations that might have pinned audit trail files
and the pinned files are affecting TMF, then you must stop TMF. While audit files remain pinned
even when RDF is stopped, no files are pinned once TMF has been stopped and restarted.
If you unpin files, RDF cannot be restarted if the files required by the extractor cannot be made
available. When you unpin audit trail files, be sure that these files are dumped to disk or tape.
If they are not dumped and the TMP renames the file or files required by the extractor, you will
have to reinitialize RDF.
In response to the UNPINAUDIT command, RDFCOM issues a prompt asking you to confirm
your request.
If the files are unpinned successfully, RDFCOM issues an informational message to that effect.
If an error occurs while attempting to unpin the audit trail files, the command is ignored, and
RDFCOM issues a message indicating the error.

Example

To unpin TMF audit trail files on the primary system, enter:
]UNPINAUDIT

VALIDATE CONFIGURATION

The VALIDATE CONFIGURATION command validates the parameters in the RDF configuration
file.
VALIDATE CONFIGURATION

Where Issued

Primary system only.

Security Restrictions

You can issue the VALIDATE CONFIGURATION command if you are a member of the super-user
group.
RDF State Requirement
You can only issue the VALIDATE CONFIGURATION command while RDF is stopped.
Usage Guidelines
It is often useful to issue a VALIDATE CONFIGURATION command just prior to issuing a
START RDF command. If the validation check reveals errors in the configuration file, you can
correct them immediately, ensuring that the START RDF operation will complete successfully.
Transaction processing need not be enabled on the primary system, however, when you enter
the VALIDATE CONFIGURATION command.
Whenever you issue a START RDF command, RDF automatically validates the configuration as
though a VALIDATE CONFIGURATION command was explicitly issued.
