MERGE ARCHIVE

The MERGE ARCHIVE utility is used to merge the archived journal files of data sharing group members that are sharing update access to data. It can also be used to merge archive and local mode journal files to simplify a subsequent recovery operation.

The output file created by the merge utility can be used as input to the ROLLFORWARD, ROLLBACK, EXTRACT JOURNAL, and MERGE ARCHIVE utility statements.

The merge utility also produces a report identifying global quiesce points within the set of merged journal images.

Under certain circumstances, this utility must be used if members of a data sharing group are sharing update access to data.

Note: For more information about when the use of this utility is mandated, see Backup and Recovery in the CA IDMS Database Administration Guide.
