Use Log file archive enable (-lgArchiveEnable) to specify
that the database log file should be archived before it is truncated.
| Operating system and syntax | UNIX / Windows |
-lgArchiveEnable

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Use with | Maximum value | Minimum value | Default | |
| Database Server | — | — | Disabled | |
If the archive file can not be created for any reason, the log file is not truncated. This ensures that no log file entries are lost.
The value for the -lgArchiveEnable can be
changed while your database is online with PROMON or the _DbParams VST.
You can use this parameter to support continuous operation of the database. For more information, see Change database parameters while the database is running.
