Using LOGSCAN for estimates

To help in planning for recovery, 

BMC AMI Recover

 provides the LOGSCAN command. LOGSCAN gathers vital information about the log records that you can use to determine a recovery strategy. LOGSCAN uses only the LOG INPUT phase and writes the output to AFRPRINT or to a specified ddname (SYSSCAN). 

BMC AMI Recover

 performs no log sort when you use LOGSCAN.

Important

The LOGSCAN command does not consider change accumulation files.

Output from the LOGSCAN command consists of

  • Type of the object
  • Name of the object
  • Partition number (0, if nonpartitioned)
  • Number of log records
  • Byte count
  • Calculated NUMREC EST value and AVGRECSZ

Important

The LOGSCAN output does not include statistics for index rebuilds.
