The source command is required before each use of the restore command.

If a path begins with a non-alphabetic character or if the replication set name includes
non-alphanumeric characters, the path or name must be enclosed in quotation marks.

If you are using the

restore

(

dtcl -i

dtcl -f

), the command requires the original source option. This option is not

required if you are using the Text Client.
