Carla had a question about DB2 ARCHIVE LOG.
I don't see anything about ARCHIVE LOG in the DB2 V7.2 documentation, so it
looks like the command is only available in DB2 V8. You must also be using
linear (recovery) logging, and not circular logging, in order to archive
log files at all.
In V8, ARCHIVE LOG is a command in that tells the database to close the
current log file in order to make the file safe for transport. It would
probably be less confusing if IBM had named the command CLOSE CURRENT
LOGFILE, which is what it really does. Unless you have defined a user exit
that processes each logfile after it is closed, the database does nothing
more than close the logfile and leave it in its current location (the log
directory).
Hope this helps,
