Enabling after-imaging on your source database
Use the following procedure to enable after-imaging on your source database:
1. Create a new structure file—named, for example, source-db-name_ai.st—and edit it to add after-imaging.
The following is sample of the structure file:
# addai.st
a C:\OpenEdge\WRK\ f 1024
a C:\OpenEdge\WRK\ f 2048
Be sure to give the new structure file a different name from the one you created in Step1: Create a structure file.
2. Apply source-db-name_ai.st to the source database.
The syntax is shown:
prostrct add source-db-namesource-db-name_ai.st
3. Back up the database.
The syntax is shown:
probkup source-db-name source-db-backup-name
4. Begin after-imaging.
The syntax is shown:
rfutil source-db-name -C aimage begin
