This parameter specifies a path to which the DB2® database system will try to archive log files if the log files cannot be archived to either the primary or the secondary (if set) archive destinations because of a media problem affecting those destinations. This specified path must reference a disk.
If there are log files in the path specified by the current value of failarchpath, any updates to failarchpath will not take effect immediately. Instead, the update will take effect when all applications disconnect.
