After_Journal[=file-spec] Noafter_Journal NOTE This qualifier is maintained for compatibility with versions of Oracle Rdb prior to Version 6.0. You might find it more useful to specify the Aij_Options qualifier, unless you are only interested in creating extensible after-image journal (.aij) files. Specifies how Oracle RMU is to handle after-image journaling and .aij file creation, using the following rules: o If you specify the After_Journal qualifier and provide a file specification, Oracle RMU enables after-image journaling and creates a new extensible after-image journal (.aij) file for the database. o If you specify the After_Journal qualifier but do not provide a file specification, Oracle RMU enables after-image journaling and creates a new extensible .aij file for the database with the same name as, but a different version number from, the .aij file for the database root file being moved. o If you specify the Noafter_Journal qualifier, Oracle RMU disables after-image journaling and does not create a new .aij file. o If you do not specify an After_Journal, Noafter_Journal, Aij_Options, or Noaij_Options qualifier, Oracle RMU retains the original journal setting (enabled or disabled) and the original .aij file state. You can only specify one, or none, of the following after-image journal qualifiers in a single RMU Move_Area command: After_ Journal, Noafter_Journal, Aij_Options, or Noaij_Options. You cannot use the After_Journal qualifier to create fixed-size .aij files; use the Aij_Options qualifier. You can facilitate recovery by creating a new .aij file because a single .aij file cannot be applied across a move area operation that changes an area page size. A single .aij file cannot be applied across a move operation because the move operation is never recorded in the .aij file (and therefore the increase in page size is also not journaled). Therefore, when you attempt to recover the database, the original page size is used for recovery purposes. So, if the .aij file contains database insert transactions, these updates might have more free space associated with them than is available on the original page size. This results in an inability to recover the insert transaction, which in turn results in a bugcheck and a corrupted database. This qualifier is valid only when no users are attached to the database and only when the root file is moved.
