Hi,
i made an attempt to restore a online backup made with include logs
option.
But when i rollforward the db, i can't pout it online because it always
ned
log file. I tried the option to rollforward to end of logs and to point in
time.
In the doc, it is said taht with 'include logs', i can restore without any
log file.
Someone know how can i stop the rollforward pending status ?
regards
When you include the logs, DB2 only includes the logs active during the
on-line backup. It is not possible to include future logs (created after the
backup) in a backup, since they have not been created yet as of when the
backup is created.
So including the logs in the backup only guarantees that you can restore the
on-line backup without rolling forward (previously you could not even do
that without the logs active during the on-line backup).
As noted by another poster, if you have all the logs created after the
backup on a directory somewhere, you can point to them and roll forward.
