After-image File Management Archive Interval (-aiarcinterval)

Use After-image File Management Archive Interval (-aiarcinterval) to specify on-demand mode archiving or the extent switch interval for timed-mode archiving.

Operating system and syntax	UNIX Windows	-aiarcinterval n
Use with	Maximum value	Minimum value	Single-user default	Multi-user default
Database Server	86400	0 or 1201	–	120

1For timed-mode, the minimum value is 120. For on-demand mode, specify 0.

n

The number of seconds between mandatory extent switches by the AI File Management utility. Specify 0 for on-demand mode with no mandatory extent switches in excess of a switch when an extent is full.

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. Regardless of the mode, 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.
