RECORDING MAX field (MAXARCH subsystem parameter)
The MAXARCH subsystem parameter controls the maximum number of archive log volumes that are to be recorded in the BSDS.
Deprecated subsystem parameter: Non-default settings for MAXARCH are deprecated. Db2 12 supports these settings, but their use is discouraged, and support is removed in Db2 13 or later. For best results, use the default value 10000.
| Acceptable values: | 10–10000 |
|---|---|
| Default: | 10000 |
| Update: | option 43 on panel DSNTIPB |
| DSNZPxxx: | DSN6LOGP MAXARCH |
When this number is exceeded, recording resumes at the beginning of the BSDS.
You must create image copies of all Db2 objects, probably several times, before the archive log data sets are discarded. If you fail to retain an adequate number of archive log data sets for all the image copies, you might need to cold start or reinstall Db2. In both cases, data is lost.
