Parameters

db-name

Notes

• This command works against both online and offline databases.
• This command does not require AI File Management to be enabled.
• If the database is online and AI File Management is enabled, the daemon process cannot be running when this command is executed.
• If AI File Management is enabled, the extent archive is logged to the AI File Management log file (database-name.archival.log.) If AI File Management is not enabled, the extent is still archived, but the execution is not logged.
• This command implicitly empties the AI extent that is archived, marking it EMPTY.
