A derived_dbspace_identifier is generated for a dbspace that is part of a dbslice. A derived_dbspace_identifier has the same syntax as other identifiers except it can contain at most one period. The period is not valid in other identifiers.
A number follows the period. This number is called the ordinal of the dbspace. The ordinal number indicates the placement of the dbspace within a dbslice, based on the order in which the dbspaces were created. When you create more than one dbspace in a dbslice, each dbspace contains a different ordinal number.
For example, if acctg_dbsp is the name of a dbslice, the onutil CREATE DBSLICE command creates the following derived dbspace identifiers:
acctg_dbsp.1 acctg_dbsp.2
Use a derived_dbspace_identifier in the following onutil commands.
