Specifies that DB2 will automatically archive the log files.
Select the type of media on which the log files will reside.
Opens a window from which you can view available items and select one.
Specify a primary location to store archived log files.
Opens a window from which you can view available items and select one.
Specify a location to store archived log files if DB2 fails to access the primary location.
Opens the Show Command window.
Moves one page back in the wizard.
It is available on all but the first page of the wizard.
Moves one page forward in the wizard, except on the last page of the wizard where it is unavailable. This button may also be disabled on some pages until all required information has been entered by the user.
Starts the process that creates a database partition based on your specifications. (Available when you specify all the required input.)
Cancels any changes you have made to this wizard and closes the wizard.
Specifies that you want a fast recovery of the database. This option provides better database performance and requires less maintenance, but it does not recover transactions logged since the last backup. For this option, you must have long-term space available on the device being used for the circular logs.
Selecting this option sets the logretain configuration parameter to NO.
Specifies that you want a complete recovery of the database. This option allows you to reapply all logs up to and including the last complete transaction. It requires more maintenance than circular logging, and can have some effect on performance.
Selecting this option sets the logretain configuration parameter to RECOVERY.
Specifies that manual archiving is to be used. You are responsible for archiving your log files.
Specifies that a user exit program should be used to archive and retrieve the log files. Log files are archived when the database manager closes the log file. They are retrieved when the ROLLFORWARD utility needs to use them to restore a database.
Specifies the number of primary logs.
Note: The number of primary and secondary log files must comply with the following equation:
Note:The above formula does not apply if you are using infinite logging. If you are using infinite logging, the maximum number of primary logs is 256.
This option sets the value of the logprimary configuration parameter.
Specifies the number of secondary logs.
Note: The number of primary and secondary log files must comply with the following equation:
If infinite logging is used, set the number of secondary logs to -1.
This option sets the value of the logsecondary configuration parameter.
Specify a value between 4 and 262 144. Increase the value specified if the database has a large number of update, delete or insert transactions running against it that will cause the log file to become full very quickly. A log file that is too small can affect system performance.
Reduce the value specified if disk space is scarce, since primary logs are preallocated at this size. A log file that is too large can reduce your flexibility when managing archived log files and copies of log files.
This option sets the value of the logfilsiz configuration parameter.
Click to reset the Number of Primary Log Files, Number of Secondary Log Files, and Size of Each Log File (4K pages) fields to their original values.
Select to indicate that the database should be configured to have infinite active log space. When you select to use infinite logging, the value specified for Number of Secondary Log Files, which sets the logsecondary configuration parameter, changes to -1.
Specify where you want to store your log files. This changes the location where active logs and future archive logs are placed by changing the value of the newlogpath configuration parameter to point to either a different directory, or to a device.
The database must be stopped for the new directory to take effect. Archive logs that are currently stored in the database log path directory are not moved to the new location if the database is configured for roll-forward recovery.
Opens a window from which you can view available items and select one.
Select to store an additional copy of each log file in another directory.
Specify the path in which you want to store the copies. This changes the value of the newlogpath2 configuration parameter. You should specify a directory on a different physical device for safety and performance reasons.
Opens a window from which you can view available items and select one.
Specify the type of media on which the backup image will reside.
Specify one or more locations in which to store the backup image.
Opens a window so that you can add items to the list.
Opens a window so that you can make changes to the selected item.
Removes the selected item from the list.
The number of sessions to open, from 1 - 999.
The number of sessions to open, from 1 - 999.
Specify the absolute file path of the user DLL.
Opens a window from which you can view available items and select one.
Specifies the names of partitions that you have not selected to back up.
Shows the host name of each available partition.
Shows the logical port assigned to each available partition.
Shows the switch name of each available partition, if applicable. The switch name is used for communication between hosts.
Shows the order in which the groups will be backed up, starting at 1. If items have been grouped, they will have the same order number.
Specifies the names of partitions that you have selected to back up.
Shows the host name of each selected partition.
Shows the logical port assigned to each selected partition.
Shows the switch name of each selected partition, if applicable. The switch name is used for communication between hosts.
Moves the selected object up one position in the list box.
Moves the selected object down one position in the list box.
Click to specify that you want the selected partitions to be a group. Partitions within the same group will be backed up in parallel. If you have many partitions, you can put them into separate groups to be backed up serially.
Click to specify that you want to remove the grouping of the database partitions.
Specifies the number of buffer manipulators that are to be spawned during the backup operation. The default value is 1. To optimize performance you may want the number of buffer manipulators to be equal to the number of backup image locations being used. The higher the value you specify, the more memory is required. If you require more memory than is available, the backup operation will fail.
Specify the number of buffers that are used for the restore operation. The default is 2. The valid range is from 1 - 65 535.
Specify the size of each buffer in 4 KB pages. The default is 1024. The range is from 16 - 524 288.
Resets the Parallelism, Number of Buffers and Size of Each Buffer fields to the values recommended by the wizard.
Select to quiesce the database. When a database is quiesced, all users are forced off the database and all units of work are rolled back. Users are not allowed to reconnect to the database until the database is unquiesced. Note: There are exceptions. Users with SYSADM, SYSMAINT, SYSCTRL or quiesce_connect authority can still connect.
