Add a Logical Log File
In general, log files becomefree after the file has been backedup to tape and
all logical log records within the file are associated with closed transactions.
(Refertopage 3-39.)Itispossibleforonelogical log file tobecomefreeearlier
than another logical log file with a lower ID number. For example, nothing
preventslogicallog number 10 frombecomingfree(status F) whilethestatus
of logical log number 8 remains unreleased (status U).
However,OnLine cannot skip a logicallogfilethatisunreleasedtomakeuse
of the space available in the free logical log file. That is, although the logical
logfilesdonot necessarily become freeinsequence, OnLine is requiredtofill
the logical log files in sequence. If OnLine fills the current logicallog file and
the next logical log file in sequence is unreleased (status U), OnLine
processingis suspendeduntil the log file isfreed. It makesno differencethat
other logical log files are free.
Add a Logical Log File
Add a log file to increase the total amount of disk space allocated to the
OnLine logical log.
You cannot add a log during an archive (quiescent or online).
The newly added log or logs do not become available until you create a
level-0 archive.
Verifythat you willnotexceedthe maximum numberoflogicallogs allowed
in your configuration, specified as LOGSMAX.
If youare logged in asuser informix, you can make this changefrom within
DB-Monitoror fromthe command line.Ifyouareloggedin as root, youmust
use the command-line option.
OnLine must be in quiescent mode. You add log files one at a time.
