Stop logging for an inconsistent database (KILL-LOG)

The KILL-LOG statement is used to suppress AFIM logging in order to perform a database warm start without an ALOG file (due to a hardware error on the ALOG file, for instance). The ALOG file is used in a warm start to include the AFIMs from the RLOG file which are not yet in the ALOG file.
The RLOG file is sufficient for a database warm start.
The KILL-LOG statement automatically disables the online backup capability as well.

This statement is only permitted for an inconsistent database.

KILL-LOG

The KILL-LOG statement has no operands.

When a warm start is performed without the ALOG file, a logging gap is created. It is therefore advisable to save the database after a warm start and to begin logging again before any new changes are made.
