Saving the database

If an error occurs during the renaming the database has to be reset to the state before the renaming cycle was started. Therefore the following possibilities exist:

• Reading in a database backup and recovering the After Image Logging files up to the last consistency point before the renaming

• Use of a backup which was created directly before the renaming cycle. Therein the following files must be saved:

  • dbname.COSSD

  • dbname.DBDIR

  • dbname.DBCOM

  • user realms which are to be renamed.

For further information on saving a database, refer to the section "Saving and recovering a database in the event of errors" in the "Database Operation" manual.
