Parameters

DBEnvironmentName

is the name of the DBEnvironment with which the file(s) you are recovering is associated.

MaintenanceWord

is the Maintenance Word.

LogFileName

is the name of the file being recovered.

Description

  • This command starts a DBEnvironment session, then lets you apply individual log files for rollforward recovery after a DBEnvironment and its log files have been restored. Rollforward recovery uses four commands:

    • SETUPRECOVERY or SETUPRECOVERY PARTIAL, which initiates the process.

    • RESTORELOG, which restores a log file from a backup.

    • RECOVERLOG, which you issue for each log file being applied to the DBEnvironment.

    • ENDRECOVERY, which ends the rollforward recovery process.

  • You normally apply SETUPRECOVERY or SETUPRECOVERY PARTIAL once. For SETUPRECOVERY you can specify a RecoverTime as the end point for recovery. For SETUPRECOVERY PARTIAL you must roll forward to the point of the failure. You then use RESTORELOG to restore each backup log file to the system in sequence number order, and you use RECOVERLOG once for each log file that you have restored, to apply it to the DBEnvironment. ALLBASE/SQL will recover the transactions in the file up to the RecoverTime you specified, or up to the end of the file.

  • You use ENDRECOVERY once after recovering all the log files you wish to apply to the DBEnvironment. Normally, you do not use ENDRECOVERY if you specified a RecoverTime in the SETUPRECOVERY command.

  • At the completion of each RECOVERLOG command, the next possible log sequence number is displayed.

  • If you specified a RecoverTime in the SETUPRECOVERY command, the following message appears when you reach the specified time stamp:

       Time Stamp Reached.
    
    When you see this message, recovery is complete. In this case, you do not use the ENDRECOVERY command.

  • ENDRECOVERY will result in an error if you have not recovered enough files to make the DBEnvironment consistent. If you used STOREONLINE to do an online backup of the DBEnvironment, you must recover starting from the First Log Sequence Number Needed for Recovery up to and including the log file that was active at the time the last STOREONLINE command completed. If you did a static backup of the DBEnvironment, you can recover as little or as much of the log as you desire once you have restored the most recent copy of the DBEnvironment.

Authorization

To use this command, you must be the DBECreator or supply the correct Maintenance Word.

Example

   >> setuprecovery

   DBEnvironment Name:  PartsDBE

   Maintenance Word:   Return 

   Recover to: (mm/dd/yy/hh/mm/ss) (opt): Return

   New Log Mode (Single/Dual) (opt): single

   Enter New Log File Name(s) Separated by a Blank: newlg1

   New Log File Size: 250

   Setup Recovery (y/n)?y



   Recovery Has Been Set Up.

   Next Log Sequence Number is       1.



 

   >> restorelog

   DBEnvironment Name:  PartsDBE

   Maintenance Word:   Return 

   Input Device: TAPE

   Local (y/n) (opt): y

   Restore the Log File (y/n)? y

   Log File 'lgn1' was Restored.

   Rename 'lgn1' Log File To: newlog

   Log File 'lgn1' was Renamed to 'newlog'.

 

   >> recoverlog

   DBEnvironment Name:  PartsDBE

   Maintenance Word:   Return 

   Next Log File To Recover: newlog

   Recover Log File (y/n)? y



   Log File Recovered.

   Next Possible Log Sequence Number is       2.

 

   >> endrecovery

   DBEnvironment Name:  PartsDBE

   Maintenance Word:   Return 

   End Recovery (y/n)?y



   Recovery Has Terminated.
