DATABASES: Common -- Infopops

Specify the number of I/O sessions that you want used.

Resets the number of I/O sessions to 1.

Opens the Add User window, where you can select users that you want added to this page. You can then grant those users authorities for the database.

Opens the Add Group window, where you can select groups that you want added to this page. You can then grant those groups authorities for the database..

Select the users or groups for whom you want to change authorities. A backslash (\) indicates they do not have the authority. A single check mark indicates they have the authority. A double check mark indicates they have the authority and can grant it to others. Corner brackets indicate that the authority or lack thereof is pending. Users or groups with no authorities do not appear unless you add them using Add User or Add Group.

Use to grant or revoke the database administration authority for the selected users or groups. A database administrator has all privileges for all objects in the database and may grant these privileges to other users or groups. BINDADD, CONNECT, CREATETAB, and NOFENCE authorities are automatically granted when DBADM authority is granted.

Use to grant or revoke the authority to create base tables within the database. The creator of a base table automatically has the CONTROL privilege on that table. The creator retains this privilege even if the CREATETAB authority is subsequently revoked.

Use to grant or revoke the authority to create packages in the database. The creator of a package automatically has the CONTROL privilege on that package and retains this privilege even if the BINDADD authority is subsequently revoked.

Use to grant or revoke the authority to create an external routine.

Use to grant or revoke the authority to access the database.

Use to grant or revoke the authority to register user-defined functions that execute in the database manager's process (CREATE_NOT_FENCED authority). After a user registers a function as not-fenced, it continues to run in the database manager's process even if NOFENCE authority is revoked.

Use to grant or revoke the authority to create a schema for an object by specifying the schema's name in the definition of the object.

Use to grant or revoke the authority to load data into a table.

Specify a new location for storing the log files.

This entry becomes the newlogpath configuration parameter. It can be a string of up to 242 bytes and can point to a path name or a raw device. If it points to a path name, it must be a fully qualified path name, not a relative one.

Select the database partition for which you want to view the configuration information.

The configuration parameters that are displayed show the values for the database partition that you selected, but note that any changes that you make to these parameters will affect all the partitions for the database (not just the partition that is currently displayed).

Display all the configuration parameters associated with this page.

Select the type of backup image to use. The fields available on the page are based on your selection.

Specify where to write the backup image. Use Browse to display a list of available directories and tape devices.

You can select more than one path and back up the database or database partition to more than one location. The resulting backup image will then be listed in multiple locations, and all the images will have the same time stamp. In a partitioned database environment, you can only back up the database partition to directories that are on the node.

Opens a window where you can select from the available items.

Specify the vendor DLL that you want used to write the backup image.

Specify to write the backup image using a user exit. The user exit that is bound to the database is called.

Specify the number of buffers to use for the operation. The default is 2. The valid range is from 1 to 65535.
Note: Increasing the number of buffers or the size of each buffer (or both) may result in the operation being completed faster, but increasing these values means that more memory is used.

Specify the size of each buffer in 4KB pages. The range is from 16 to 524288.
Note: Increasing the number of buffers or the size of each buffer (or both) causes the operation to complete faster, but increasing these values means that more memory is used.

Select the backup image you want to use.

Select if there is not a suitable backup image in the list of available images.

Specify the date of the backup image to use.

You do not have to specify the date if only one backup image exists at the location specified for the backup image.

Specify the time of the backup image to use.

You do not have to specify the date and time if only one backup image exists at the location specified for the backup image.

Select if you want to modify containers during the creation operation. You then select Add, Change, or Remove to modify the containers during the restore. This is known as a redirected restore.

Select to allow container information to be modified by the roll-forward phase of the create database from backup operation. If any create, remove, or alter container operations are recorded in the database logs, these operations will be reapplied during the roll-forward phase.

Select to create a new container.

Select to change the name, drive, or path of the selected container. If you select multiple containers, you can only change the drive.

If the container state is not valid, you must either change its path, or remove it. If you remove the container, you can add a new container to replace it.

Select to delete the selected container.

Displays information on the table spaces that are in the backup image that you are using to create the database.

Displays information on the containers associated with the selected table space.

Select to do roll-forward recovery (reapply the logs) on the database.

Select to apply all changes recorded in the logs to the database.

Select to roll forward to a specific date and time. If you do not specify a date and time, then the current date and time are used.

Specify the date to which you want to roll forward. The date and time fields indicate the date and time of the next transaction that will be reapplied by the roll-forward operation.

Specify the time to which you want to roll forward. The date and time fields indicate the date and time of the next transaction that will be reapplied by the roll-forward operation.

Specify the path for any logs that have been moved.

The roll-forward operation only checks for logs in the location specified by the logpath database configuration parameter. If you have moved any logs you must specify their location.

Select to leave the database in the roll-forward pending state at the end of the create database operation. This is the default because it allows you to roll forward more changes after the create database operation completes.

Select to create the database online. This means that other applications and users can be connected to the database while the operation is in progress.
Note: Create a database from a backup image can only be done offline because the database is not yet available for any other user to connect to it.

Select to create the database offline. This means that no other application or user can be connected to the database when the operation is in progress.

Type a name for the new database that you want to create. The name:

Select to restore all table spaces to the state they were in at the time that the backup image was taken. When you restore the full database or database partition, the following also occurs:

Select to restore only those table spaces that you chosen from the Available table spaces box and moved to the Use table spaces box.

Displays all the table spaces that are currently available in the backup image. This information is recorded in the recovery history file for the database or the database partition.

Displays all the table spaces that you selected to be restored to the state they were in when the backup image was created. These were selected from the Available table spaces box.

Click on these push buttons to change the list of table spaces displayed in the Available table spaces and Use table spaces boxes:

All table spaces displayed in the Available table spaces box are moved to the Use table spaces box.

>
Selected table spaces in the Available table spaces box are moved to the Use table spaces box

<
Selected table spaces in the Use table spaces box are moved to the Available table spaces box.
