Re: Resizing Logical Logs

> Can anyone provide a procedural how-to to increase the size and number > of logical logs. =20 I haven't got a chance to work on OnLine 7 yet, so my answer to your = question is based on my <=3D5.x knowledge. I think that you need to = reinitialise your informix disk space if you want to change the logical = log file size. Following are the steps I would take: 1. Do a backup of the database(s), e.g. dbunload or dbexport, but do = not use Informix archive, as the control information might be different = after changing the log size. (Am I right ?) May worthwhile to turn the = logging off as well. dbunload may be better, as you don't need to worry = about dbspace and extent information. 2. Bring the instance to Queisent mode, and change the log size thru = tbmonitor or vi the tbconfig file. 3. Reinitialise disk space by either type: tbinit -i, or thru = tbmonitor. BE SURE you have got the correct env. 3A. If you were using dbunload, dbaccess to create the database(s) = first. 4. Restore the database(s). Changing the log mode to their previous = mode. Question: * Why do you want to do that? How many log files have you got and what = size? What about adding more log files? (You may need to change the = LOGSMAX parameter) Pls verify my steps with your IFMX manual. Good Luck. Sean.
