The number of seconds between mandatory extent switches by the AI File Management utility.
If you specify timed-mode, set the elapsed time between forced AI extent switches with a value indicating the number of seconds between the switches. The minimum time is 2 minutes, the maximum is 24 hours. You can modify the interval on a running system by using the RFUTIL utility.
In both timed and on-demand modes, the AI File Management utility archives full AI extents every 5 seconds.
Note: This parameter is useful only when running the AI File Management utility.
For information on using the AI File Management utility, see OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration.
