Disabling After-imaging

Follow these steps to disable after-imaging:

  1. If you have a database, back up any full extents. This step is important because when you disable after-imaging on a database with AI extents, the database engine marks all of the AI extents as empty. This means that you cannot access any information that you did not back up for roll-forward recovery.
  2. If you have a database, back up the extent that is currently busy.
  3. Disable after-imaging. Use the AIMAGE END qualifier with the RFUTIL utility:
  4. rfutil db-name -C aimage end 
    

    db-name

    Specifies the database you are using.

    You can also use the AIMAGE AIOFF qualifier with RFUTIL. Use AIMAGE AIOFF when you need to temporarily disable after-imaging, such as during scheduled maintenance:

    rfutil db-name -C aimage aioff 
    

    db-name

    Specifies the database you are using.
