RESCUELOG

Stores a copy of a log file without accessing the DBECon file. You use this command to store a log file that cannot be stored using STORELOG.

Scope

SQLUtil Only

SQLUtil Syntax

>> RESCUELOG Log File Name: LogFileName Size Of The Log File: LogFileSize To File Name? DeviceName Rescue Log File(y/n)? { Y [es] N [o]}

Parameters

LogFileName: is the name of the log file that is to be rescued (that is, stored).
LogFileSize: is the size in 512-byte pages of the log file that is to be rescued.
DeviceName: is the device name for the tape or disk device that will receive the store file.

Description

This command lets you store a log file. It is normally used only with files that cannot be stored with STORELOG.
Normally, this command would only be used following the corruption of DBEnvironment files through a media failure or some other serious problem. If you are unable to connect to the DBEnvironment, use a static SHOWLOG to display log files that have not been stored, then use RESCUELOG to store them.
If more than one tape volume is required to store the file, a request will be displayed on the console. The next tape can then be mounted.

Authorization

Any user may execute this command.
