Reserve=number-journals
Reserves additional space in the after-image journal
configuration for the specified number of .aij files. You can
specify the Reserve qualifier only when users are detached from
the database. If you do not specify the Reserve qualifier, no
space is reserved for additional .aij files.
Note that you cannot reserve space in a single-file database for
.aij files by using this qualifier with the RMU Set After_Journal
command. After-image journal file reservations for a single-
file database can be made only when you use the RMU Convert, RMU
Restore, or RMU Copy_Database commands.
Note that once you reserve space in the journal configuration
(using the Reserve=n qualifier), the reservations are permanent.
There is no way to unreserve this space unless you back up and
restore the database. Specify fewer reservations with RMU Restore
command After_Journal qualifier.
Each reservation uses two blocks of space in the root file and
the run-time global sections.
When you reserve journals slots to create additional journals
for your journal system, the reserve operation is not journaled.
Therefore, you should perform a full database backup operation to
ensure database consistency.
