For more information if you do not want to use the SAP scripts, see Emergency Logical-Log Backup Without SAP Scripts (ON-Archive).

Make sure you have prepared correctly before using the SAP scripts for emergency logical-log backup. Refer to Preparing for Emergency Backup Using SAP Scripts (ON-Archive).

Follow the procedure Performing Emergency Backup Using SAP Scripts (ON-Archive) to execute the arcpanic script for emergency logical-log backup.
