Enabling After-imaging

Use the RFUTIL utility with the AIMAGE BEGIN qualifier to enable after-imaging. The use of after-imaging requires a recent backup of the database because the database backup and AI files are treated as a recoverable set of files.

Follow these steps to enable after imaging for a database:

  1. Define AI areas in the structure description file. See the "Creating After-image Areas" section for detailed instructions.
  2. Back up the database.
  3. After you create the database, use the following syntax to enable after-imaging:
  4. rfutil db-name -C aimage begin 
    

    db-name

    Specifies the name of the database you are using. If the database has been modified since it was last backed up, RFUTIL displays an error message and does not enable after-imaging.
