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 .aij files.
Specifies how RMU Restore Only_Root 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, RMU Restore Only_Root creates a new extensible
.aij file and enables journaling.
o If you specify the After_Journal qualifier but you do not
provide a file specification, RMU Restore Only_Root creates
a new extensible .aij file with the same name as the journal
that was active at the time of the backup operation.
o If you specify the Noafter_Journal qualifier, RMU Restore
Only_Root disables after-image journaling and does not create
a new .aij file. Note that if you specify the Noafter_Journal
qualifier, there will be a gap in the sequence of .aij files.
For example, suppose your database has .aij file sequence
number 1 when you back it up. If you issue an RMU Restore
Only_Root command with the Noafter qualifier, the .aij file
sequence number will be changed to 2. This means that you
cannot (and do not want to) apply the original .aij file to
the restored database (doing so would result in a sequence
mismatch).
o If you do not specify an After_Journal, Noafter_Journal, Aij_
Options, or Noaij_Options qualifier, RMU Restore Only_Root
recovers the journal state (enabled or disabled) and tries to
reuse the .aij file or files.
If you choose this option, take great care to either set the
database root TSN and CSN correctly, or create a full and
complete backup file of the database. Failure to do so might
make it impossible for you to recover your database from the
.aij file should it become necessary.
However, if the .aij file or files are not available (for
example, they have been backed up), after-image journaling is
disabled.
You cannot use the After_Journal qualifier to create fixed-size
.aij files; use the Aij_Options qualifier.
