MERGE ARCHIVE Parameter

COMPLETE

Indicates that all journal files that contain images needed for recovery have been included as input. To complete transactions that are incomplete at the end of the process, additional checkpoint records will be written to the merged output file:

The output file may then be used as input to the ROLLBACK, ROLLFORWARD, or EXTRACT JOURNAL utility functions.

INCOMPLETE

Indicates that only a subset of the journal files have been included as input. The journal files are merged, but no additional checkpoints are generated. The output file can be used only as input to an EXTRACT JOURNAL or a subsequent MERGE ARCHIVE. You should not use the output file as input to ROLLBACK or ROLLFORWARD.

REPORT

Specifies the amount of detail that is to appear on the report produced by the merge utility.

FULL

Specifies that all details are to be reported. This includes for every transaction: checkpoints, database statistics, and area usage. All details of a distributed transaction record are reported. This includes local transaction ids with program names, external transaction ids, and resource manager interests. Additionally, transactions active at the end of the process are listed and the time of the last global quiesce point is identified. FULL is the default if no REPORT option is specified.

TERSE

Indicates that only transaction checkpoints and summary information is produced. For distributed transaction records: external transaction ids and resource manager interests are not included in the report.

SUMMARY

Indicates that only final summary information is produced.
