n

An integer specifying the threshold, in MB.

Use Recovery Log Threshold (-bithold) to set the maximum size to which recovery log files can grow. The recommended threshold is between 3% and 100% of the largest possible recovery log file size, rounded to the nearest cluster boundary. Once the threshold is reached, the database performs an emergency shutdown. Using the -bistall parameter with -bithold prevents the emergency shutdown; instead, the database ceases activity until the BI extent is emptied.
