When the AI File Management daemon is operating in on-demand mode and OpenEdge Replication is enabled on your database, the following process executes to archive extents:

  1. Awake from five second sleep. Archive all FULL and LOCKED AI extents. LOCKED extents are marked as ARCHIVED; FULL extents are marked EMPTY.
  2. When OpenEdge Replication has replicated the LOCKED extent, it will mark the extent EMPTY.
  3. Normal database activity causes the current BUSY extent to fill. The extent is marked LOCKED, and the next EMPTY extent is marked as BUSY.
  4. Sleep for five seconds.
