Manually archives the next FULL AI extent.

Syntax

rfutil db-name -C aiarchive nextextent

Parameters

db-name
Specifies the database you are using.

AIARCHIVE NEXTEXTENT forces the next FULL AI extent to be archived immediately. The extent is archived online to the previously specified directory list. Archiving occurs if the AIRCHIVER is running or has previously been stopped online, for example, with RFUTIL -C AIARCHIVER END. If the daemon is operating in timed mode, the timer is reset. If your database stalls because all your AI extents are full, this command will free an extent. After clearing the stall, set the archive interval to a smaller number or to 0 to prevent another stall.

Notes

  • This command works against online databases only. You cannot run it against offline databases because the after-image extent manager must be available.
  • This command requires AI File Management to be enabled.
  • If the database is online and AI File Management is enabled, the daemon process can be running, but not in the middle of an archiving operation, when this command is executed.
  • This command implicitly empties the AI extent that is archived, marking it EMPTY.
