Backup_Context Nobackup_Context The Backup_Context qualifier specifies that the following symbols be initialized, unless you have issued a DCL SET SYMBOL/SCOPE=(NOLOCAL, NOGLOBAL) command: o RDM$AIJ_SEQNO Contains the sequence number of the last .aij backup file written to tape. This symbol has a value identical to RDM$AIJ_ BACKUP_SEQNO. RDM$AIJ_SEQNO was created prior to Oracle Rdb Version 6.0 and is maintained for compatibility with previous versions of Oracle Rdb. o RDM$AIJ_CURRENT_SEQNO Contains the sequence number of the currently active .aij file. A value of -1 indicates that after-image journaling is disabled. o RDM$AIJ_NEXT_SEQNO Contains the sequence number of the next .aij file that needs to be backed up. This symbol always contains a positive integer value (which may be 0). o RDM$AIJ_LAST_SEQNO Contains the sequence number of the last .aij file available for a backup operation, which is different from the current sequence number if fixed-size journaling is being used. A value of -1 indicates that no journal has ever been backed up. If the value of the RDM$AIJ_NEXT_SEQNO symbol is greater than the value of the RDM$AIJ_LAST_SEQNO symbol, then no more .aij files are currently available for the backup operation. o RDM$AIJ_BACKUP_SEQNO Contains the sequence number of the last .aij file backed up (completed) by the backup operation. This symbol is set at the completion of an .aij backup operation. A value of - 1 indicates that this process has not yet backed up an .aij file. o RDM$AIJ_COUNT Contains the number of available .aij files. o RDM$AIJ_ENDOFFILE Contains the end of file block number for the current AIJ journal. o RDM$AIJ_FULLNESS Contains the percent fullness of the current AIJ journal. o RDM$HOT_STANDBY_STATE - Contains the current replication state. Possible state strings and the description of each state are listed below: - "Inactive" - Inactive - "DB_Bind" - Binding to database - "Net_Bind" - Binding to network - "Restart" - Replication restart activity - "Connecting" - Waiting for LCS to connect - "DB_Synch" - Database synchronization - "Activating" - LSS server activation - "SyncCmpltn" - LRS synchronization redo completion - "Active" - Database replication - "Completion" - Replication completion - "Shutdown" - Replication cleanup - "Net_Unbind" - Unbinding from network - "Recovery" - Unbinding from database - "Unknown" - Unknown state or unable to determine state o RDM$HOT_STANDBY_SYNC_MODE - Contains the current replication synchronization mode when replication is active. Possible synchronization mode strings are listed below: o "Cold" o "Warm" o "Hot" o "Commit" o "Unknown" The Nobackup_Context qualifier specifies that the preceding symbols will not be initialized. The Nobackup_Context qualifier is the default. Note that these are string symbols, not integer symbols, even though their equivalence values are numbers. Therefore performing arithmetic operations with them produces unexpected results. If you need to perform arithmetic operations with these symbols, first convert the string symbol values to numeric symbol values using the OpenVMS F$INTEGER lexical function. For example: $ SEQNO_RANGE = F$INTEGER(RDB$AIJ_LAST_SEQNO) - _$ - F$INTEGER(RDB$AIJ_NEXT_SEQNO)
