DSMSERV LOADFORMAT (Format the Database and Log For Load)

Use this command to format the server database and recovery log for a subsequent DSMSERV LOADDB or DSMSERV RESTORE DB.

When you use this utility, any data that exists in the files you specify will be lost.

The DSMSERV LOADDB utility requires a prior DSMSERV LOADFORMAT to be run. After the DSMSERV LOADFORMAT has been run, a DSMSERV LOADDB or DSMSERV RESTORE DB will be required before the server will start.
