PROAIW Command
Starts the after-image writer (AIW) process. The AIW improves performance by writing notes to the after-imaging file. For more information on the AIW, see Managing Performance."
SYNTAX
db-name
Specifies the database where you want to start the AIW process.
NOTES
- To stop the AIW, disconnect it by using the PROSHUT 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.- After-image writers are only available on Enterprise systems.
