When you use -bistall, a message is added
to the database log (.lg) file stating that the threshold
stall is enabled.
Threshold Stall (-bistall) may not be
enabled unless a value has been specified for the Recovery Log Threshold (-bithold) parameter.
Threshold Stall (-bistall) may be modified
while your database is online using PROMON or through 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.
