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).

For more information, see the ACTIVITYLOG parameter in Editing the config.arc File for ON-Archive.
