Startup Command and Parameter
Reference
PROAIW Command
Starts the after-image writer (AIW) process. The AIW improves performance on shared-memory systems by performing overhead after-image operations in the background. For more information on the AIW, see the Progress Database Administration Guide and Reference .
SYNTAX
PARAMETERS
db-name
Specifies the database where you want to start the AIW process.
NOTES
- To stop the AIW, disconnect it by using thePROSHUT Command. You can start and stop the AIW at any time without shutting down the database.
- The AIW counts as one user. You might have to increment the value of the Number of Users (-n) parameter to allow for the AIW. However, the AIW does not count as a licensed user.
- You can increase the number of buffers in the after-image buffer pool by using the After-image Buffers (-aibufs) parameter. Increasing the number of buffers when running an AIW increases the availability of empty buffers to client and server processes. Increasing the After-image Buffers parameter has no effect if the AIW is not running.
