Database Administration

RFUTIL AIARCHIVE EXTENT qualifier

Manually archives the specified AI extent.

Syntax

rfutil db-name -C aiarchive extent source-extent target

Parameters

db-name

Specifies the database you are using.

source-extent

Specifies the AI extent to archive. Supply the full file name.

target

Specifies the output file of the archived extent. The file cannot exist. If a file exists with the specified name, AIARCHIVE EXTENT will fail.

Notes

This command works against both online and offline databases.
This command does not require AI File Management to be enabled.
If the database is online and AI File Management is enabled, the daemon process cannot be running when this command is executed.
If AI File Management is enabled, the extent archive is logged to the AI File Management log file (database-name.archival.log.) If AI File Management is not enabled, the extent is still archived, but the execution is not logged.
This command implicitly empties the AI extent that is archived, marking it EMPTY.
