Syntax

rfutil db-name -C aimage extract -a ai-extent -o output-file

Parameters

db-name

Specifies the database you are using.

-a ai-extent

Identifies the AI file containing the blocks to be extracted. The extent must be marked as full or locked.

-o output-file

Specifies the file to hold the extracted blocks.

Extracting blocks from an AI extent is only beneficial for fixed length extents. There will be minimal savings of disk space when extracting blocks from a variable length extent.
