Enabling after-imaging online

Use the PROBKUP utility with the online and enableai qualifiers to enable after-imaging on an online database. The completed backup is the baseline for rolling forward after-image extents.
To enable after-image for an online database:
1. Create the AI areas in your database. See Creatingafter-image areas for detailed instructions.
2. Simultaneously backup your database online and enable after-imaging with PROBKUP.
Use the command shown:
probkup online dbname output-device enableai
For complete PROBKUP syntax information, see PROBKUP utility.
