Syntax :files {(options}
Category TCL
Type Verb
Description initiates a full restore as an alternative to reloading from the "options" prompt.

The proper media type must be indicated with the appropriate "set-" command prior to using this command.

First, the system goes into single user mode as if "maxusers (s" was entered. Then, each line is wrapped up as if a "shutdown" command was entered. All workspace is released and the overflow table is cleared. The user is prompted for reallocation.

Do you wish to disable file reallocation (y/<n>)?:

This question can be bypassed by using either ":files (n" or ":files (r".

Then, you are prompted to insert the media.

Load reel #1 and press return:

This prompt can be bypassed by using ":files (l".
Options l  Skip the "Load reel #1 and press return" message.
n  Skip the "Do you wish to disable file reallocation" message answering "yes" so that files are NOT resized.
r  Skip "Do you wish to disable file reallocation" message answering "no" so that files are resized.
z  Skip Incremental and Transaction log prompts answering "n" to each which allows generating indexes to automatically take place.

Notice in the above example, the options chosen allow the bypassing of all prompts except the first one.
Warnings The overflow table will be cleared, wiping out the entire file system. Ensure you have a proper backup tape by performing a "t-verify" on it.

:files will not change the number of ports, regardless of the npibs value in the configuration file.
