Allows you to manually stop the AIJ log server (ALS) for the
specified database.
1 – Description
The ALS is an optional process that flushes log data to the
after-image journal (.aij) file. All database servers deposit
transaction log data in a cache located in the database global
section. If the ALS is active, it continuously flushes the log
data to disk. Otherwise, server processes might block temporarily
if the cache in the global section is full.

3 – Parameters
3.1 – root-file-spec
Specifies the database root file for which you want to stop the
ALS.
4 – Command Qualifiers
4.1 – Output
Output=file-name
Allows you to specify the file where the operational log is to be
created. The operational log records the transmission and receipt
of network messages.
If you do not include a directory specification with the
file name, the log file is created in the database root file
directory. It is invalid to include a node name as part of the
file name specification.
Note that all Hot Standby bugcheck dumps are written to the
corresponding bugcheck dump file; bugcheck dumps are not written
to the file you specify with the Output qualifier.
5 – Usage Notes
o To use the RMU Server After_Journal Stop command for a
database, you must have RMU$OPEN privilege in the root file
access control list (ACL) for the database or the OpenVMS
WORLD privilege.
o To issue the RMU Server After_Journal Stop command
sucessfully, the database must be open. Other users can be
attached to the database.
o If the ALS process stops abnormally, regardless of whether the
current setting of the ALS is automatic or manual, the only
way to restart it is to use the RMU Server After_Journal Start
command.
o To determine whether the ALS is running, use the RMU Show
Users command.
o If database replication is active and you attempt to stop
the database AIJ log server, Oracle Rdb returns an error. You
must stop database replication before attempting to stop the
server.
