Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
Database Administration

RFUTIL AIMAGE AIOFF qualifier

Disables after-imaging for a database in multi-user mode.

Syntax

rfutil db-name -C aimage aioff

Parameters

db-name

Specifies the database you are using.

You do not have to shut down the database to use AIMAGE AIOFF. Use AIMAGE AIOFF to:

Perform scheduled maintenance on a database. Disabling after-imaging during a table move or index rebuild saves time and disk space.
Prevent database crashes caused by a pending lack of disk space. Instead of switching AI extents, you can disable after-imagine.

Caution: If you disable after-imaging and the database crashes, you cannot roll forward.

Note

To enable after-imaging after disabling it with the RFUTIL qualifier AIMAGE AIOFF, use the RFUTIL qualifier AIMAGE BEGIN.
