The AIW improves performance by writing notes to the after-imaging file. For more information on the AIW, see
Managing Performance.
The AIW counts as one user. You might have to increment the value of the Number of Users (
-n) parameter to allow for the AIW. However, the AIW does not count as a licensed user.
You can increase the number of buffers in the after-image buffer pool by using the After-image Buffers (
-aibufs) parameter. Increasing the number of buffers when running an AIW increases the availability of empty buffers to client and server processes. Increasing the After-image Buffers parameter has no effect if the AIW is not running.
