Performing conditional restart

Normal recovery operations can be partially or fully bypassed by using conditional restart control records in the BSDS.

Procedure

To perform a conditional restart:

  1. Optional: When considering a conditional restart, it is often useful to run the DSN1LOGP utility and review a summary report of the information contained in the log.
  2. While Db2 is stopped, run the change log inventory utility by using the CRESTART control statement to create a new conditional restart control record.
  3. Restart Db2. The recovery operations that take place are governed by the current conditional restart control record.
  4. Optional: For data sharing environments, use the LIGHT(YES) or LIGHT(NOINDOUBTS) parameter on the START DB2 command to quickly recover retained locks on a Db2 member.
