On demand log archive

IBM® DB2® server supports the closing (and, if enabled, the archiving) of the active log for a recoverable database at any time. This allows you to collect a complete set of log files up to a known point, and then to use these log files to update a standby database.

You can initiate on demand log archiving by invoking the ARCHIVE LOG command, or by calling the db2ArchiveLog API.
