The RMU Server After_Journal Reopen_Output command allows you
to reopen an ALS output file that was previously created with an
RMU Server After_Journal Start command with the Output qualifier.
(The ALS output file is opened for exclusive access by the ALS
process.)
Reopening the output file results in the current output file
being closed and a new output file being created. The new output
file has the same file name as the original output file, but its
version number is incremented by one.
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.
