Procedure documentation Deleting the Emergency Save Set (ON-Archive)  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

This procedure is part of an emergency logical-log backup on the Informix database with ON-Archive without the SAP scripts. For an overview, see Emergency Logical-Log Backup without SAP Scripts (ON-Archive).

In this step, you delete the emergency save set, since you should have copied it to the volume set LOGTAP in the previous set. You need to use the request ID generated in the step Cataloging the Emergency Save Set (ON-Archive), 106 in the example.

Prerequisites

You have finished Copying Emergency Save Set to Regular Volume Set (ON-Archive).

Procedure

To delete the emergency save set, you remove it from the ON-Archive catalog, by entering a command like the following:

$ onarchive 'REMOVE/REQUEST=106/VSET=ONDATARTRLOG'

This command deletes the save set from the disk. Do not use the UNIX rm command.

Result

The data from the backed-up logical log is now fully available for use during any future restore.

Note

SAP recommends you to now create a full (level-0) archive of the database. This makes sure that you do not run into problems using the logical-log data that you have just backed up in this emergency, because you can then use a more recent archive instead.
