Freeing a log file with status U-C or U-C-L

Follow these steps to free the current log file.

To free the current log file (status C):

  1. Run the following command to switch the current log file to the next available log file: onmode -l
  2. Back up the original log file with ON-Bar or ontape.
  3. After all full log files are backed up, you are prompted to switch to the next available log file and back up the new current log file.

    You are not required to do the backup because you just switched to this log file.

After you free the current log file, if the log file has status U-B or U-B-L, see Freeing a log file with status U-B or F or Free a log file with status U-B-L.
