This BRARCHIVE command option defines the BRARCHIVE function to be performed.

BRARCHIVE only performs the selected operation for the number of offline redo log files that you selected with the option -n. The program only deletes offline redo log files if they have already been successfully archived or copied.

If only one tape device exists, you can use the option -cs or -cds to ensure that BRARCHIVE creates a second copy of the offline redo log files in a run, deletes them if necessary and immediately continues with archiving. You can also achieve this by calling BRARCHIVE first with the option -s and then with the option -sc or -scd. However, in this case two BRARCHIVE calls are required.

Parameters in init<DBSID>.sap: archive_function.
