DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

FP1: -file option of db2rfpen command has been deprecated

Starting in Version 9.7 Fix Pack 1, the -file option of the reset rollforward pending state (db2rfpen) command has been deprecated and might be removed in a future release.

Details

When you use the -file option, only the specified log control file (SQLOGCTL.LFH.1 or SQLOGCTL.LFH.2) is updated. This causes the files to no longer be synchronized. As a result, if the database is placed into rollforward pending state using the primary log control file (SQLOGCTL.LFH.1) and this file later becomes unavailable, the database will no longer be in rollforward pending state. Similarly, if the database is placed into rollforward pending state using the secondary log control file (SQLOGCTL.LFH.2) and the primary log control file remains available, the database will not be in rollforward pending state.

User response

Use the database_alias parameter or the -path option instead.
