Managing the Logical Log

The database server contains several files called logical logs that record data transactions and administrative information such as checkpoint records and additions and deletions of chunks.

Typical logical-log administration tasks include backing up logical-log files, adding, freeing, and resizing logical-log files, and specifying high-watermarks.

The database server dynamically allocates logical-log files while online to prevent long transactions from hanging the database server.

For more information, see Logging Parameters and Logical Log. For instructions on creating and modifying the logical-log configuration, see Managing Logical-Log Files. For information on backing up the logical log, see the IBM Informix Backup and Restore Guide.
