Dumping a transaction log:
DUMP TRANSACTION {dbname | @dbname_var}
[TO dump_device [, dump_device2 [..., dump_device32]]]
[WITH {TRUNCATE_ONLY | NO_LOG | NO_TRUNCATE}
{options}]
where
dump_device =
{dump_device_name | @dump_device_namevar}
| {DISK | TAPE | FLOPPY | PIPE} =
{'temp_dump_device' | @temp_dump_device_var}}
[VOLUME = {volid | @volid_var}]
options =
[[,] {UNLOAD | NOUNLOAD}]
[[,] {INIT | NOINIT}]
[[,] {SKIP | NOSKIP}]
[[,] {{EXPIREDATE = {date | @date_var}}
| {RETAINDAYS = {days | @days_var}}]
Note The UNLOAD and NOUNLOAD options are supported only by TAPE dump devices.
When you specify a PIPE dump device, multivolume dumps and dump device options (UNLOAD, NOUNLOAD, INIT, NOINIT, SKIP, NOSKIP, EXPIREDATE, and RETAINDAYS) are not supported.
