While attempting to activate the database an error occurred because the database was busy performing a BACKUP, RESTORE or was in ROLLFORWARD pending state. Examine the sqlcode to determine the condition that is preventing the database from activating. The following sqlcodes are most likely to occur during the activate database step and will prevent the server from starting. SQLE_RC_BKP_PEND ( -1116 ) indicates a database BACKUP is pending and must complete prior to activating the database. Once the database BACKUP is complete,the database can be activated by starting the server. SQLE_RC_ROLLFWD_PEND ( -1117 ) indicates a database Roll Forward operation is pending and must complete before activating the database. After the Roll Forward recovery step is complete, the database can be activated by starting the server. SQLE_RC_BKP_INPROG ( -1118 ) occurs when an attempt to activate the database fails because a database BACKUP was in progress. Prior to activating the database, it is necessary to rerun database BACKUP. Once the database BACKUP completes successfully, the database can be activated by starting the server. SQLE_RC_RST_INPROG ( -1119 ) shows that a database RESTORE was in progress when the database failed to activate. The RESTORE database must be restarted and allowed to complete successfully before activating the database. Once the database RESTORE in complete, the database can be activated by starting the server. SQLE_RC_BR_INPROG ( -1120 ) means that either a database BACKUP or RESTORE must complete before activating the database. Ensure that either a BACKUP or RESTORE operation completes successfully before activating the database.
