Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
Database Administration

RFUTIL AIMAGE EXTENT EMPTY qualifier

Marks an AI extent as empty and informs the database manager that the indicated AI extent has been manually backed up and is now free for reuse.

Syntax

rfutil db-name -C aimage extent empty [ extent-number | extent-path ]

Parameters

db-name

Specifies the database you are using.

extent-number

Specifies the number of the extent you want to mark as empty.

extent-path

Specifies the pathname of the extent you want to mark as empty.

Notes

Use RFUTIL AIMAGE EXTENT LIST or RFUTIL AIMAGE EXTENT FULL to determine the extent-number or extent-pathname.
If you do not specify either an extent number or an extent path, RFUTIL marks the oldest full extent as empty.
If the extent being marked empty is a variable length extent, RFUTIL will truncate the extent.
If an extent is marked LOCKED by Fathom Replication, it cannot be emptied with this command.
This command cannot be executed against a database that has enabled AI File Management.
