log_full shell script (Informix UNIX

specific term)

A script provided by ON-Bar that you can use to start backing up logical-log files when OnLine Server issues a log- full event alarm. The Informix ALARMPROGRAM configuration parameter defaults to the <INFORMIXDIR>/etc/log_full.sh, where <INFORMIXDIR> is the OnLine Server home directory. If you do not want logical logs to be backed up continuously, set the ALARMPROGRAM configuration parameter to <INFORMIXDIR>/etc/ no_log.sh.

The different logging level settings influence IDB growth, backup speed, and the convenience of browsing data for restore.

In the event of a failure, these logical-log files are used to roll forward all transactions that have been committed as well as roll back any transactions that have not been committed.
