Recovery to a log mark
Recovery to a log mark uses features from
Log Master
and
. This exclusive feature enables you to set and recover to a user-defined log mark.
The ability to create a log mark is a unique feature of Log Master. Log marks enable you to associate a name with a point on the log. When you specify a log mark, you can later refer to that point by the log mark name. You do not have to know the actual RBA/LRSN. When you define a log mark, you can optionally use the Quiesce with Mark option to set the RBA/LRSN for the log mark to the RBA/LRSN of a quiesce action that you request.
For information about creating log marks, see the BMC AMI Log Master for Db2 documentation.
After setting a log mark, you can use
to recover to that log mark:
- If you performed a quiesce when you defined the log mark or set the log mark at a quiet point, you can perform a point-in-time recovery using RECOVER TOLOGPOINT LOGMARK logMarkName syntax.
- If you know that the log mark is not at a quiesce point or a quiet point for the spaces or spaces that you are recovering, you should perform a timestamp recovery by using OPTIONS RECOVERYPOINT LOGMARK logMarkName.
