Enables after-imaging for a database.

Syntax

rfutil db-name -C aimage begin [ -aiencryption {enable | disable} ]

Parameters

db-name

Specifies the database you are using.

-aiencryption { enable | disable }

For databases with Transparent Data Encryption enabled only, specifies whether to enable or disable encryption of your AI files. If not specified, your AI files will be encrypted. Progress Software Corporation strongly recommends you encrypt your AI files.

The AIMAGE BEGIN qualifier:

• Creates the AI area that holds after-image notes
• Labels the database as having after-imaging enabled

The AIMAGE BEGIN qualifier fails if:

• It cannot truncate an existing AI area.
• You have not marked the database as backed up since the last time the database was modified.
