o To use the RMU Server After_Journal Start 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 The ALS can be started only if the database is open and if
after-image journaling is enabled.
o The RMU Server After_Journal Start command can be issued while
users are 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 Any errors encountered when you try to start the ALS are
logged in the monitor log file. Use the RMU Show System
command to find the location of the monitor log file.
