Log Files Full
Joao Campos got the error 'Logical Log Files are Full -- Backup is Needed' and asked for help. Yang Heung-Soon and Leo Cardoso advised freeing the logs with ontape -a. Andreas Bettin added that LTAPEDEV can be /dev/null on Unix if restore safety does not matter, but logs then cannot be restored. Alex Yukhno suggested ondatartr, a level 0 backup, and LBU_PRESERVE = 1 in ONCONFIG. No confirmation of the outcome.

You can free your logical logs by "ontape -a".

First save with ontape -a on your tape device.
If restore-safety is not your problem, you can use /dev/null as
LTAPEDEV. (when your box is unix)
I think, NUL ist the null-device in Win9x and NT, but look in the FM
of online.
Beware! Restore of Logs will not be able, if you choose the
null-device to backup the logs!!!

After it you must act backup level 0. My advice set LBU_PRESERVE = 1 in your ONCONFIG, and you will have not same problems in the future. With best regards Alexander Y.
