Deactivating the DEMO Variant of a Log Mode (SAP Library

Deactivating the DEMO Variant of a Log Mode

Use

You can deactivate the DEMO variant of a log mode. It is only possible to switch from SINGLE/DEMO to SINGLE or from DUAL/DEMO to DUAL.

Caution

Data cannot be backed up if the DEMO variant of a log mode is activated.

As a result, when you switch from the DEMO variant of a log mode back to the standard log variant, you must carry out a full data backup in ADMIN mode in the database instance. This allows you to back up the data that was loaded to the database instance while the log backup was disabled.

Note

You can only change the log mode after you have deactivated the DEMO variant of the current log mode (Changing the Log Mode).

Prerequisites

The database instance is in ONLINE mode.

Procedure

Select the DEMO variant of the current log mode.

Choose LogMode ® Change LogMode.

Switch the database instance to the ADMIN mode.
To do this, choose Instance ® ADMIN.

Save the database instance.
To do this, choose Instance ® Backup ® Complete and then Backup ® Start.

Result

The data is saved.

Under Instance ® Configuration ® Log-Mode, the standard log variant is displayed as the current log variant.
