GOAL:
Are AI extents required to do an PROBKUP ONLINE?
GOAL:
Does probkup online require after-imaging to be enabled
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress/OpenEdge Product Family
FIX:
After Imaging does not have to be enabled to do a PROBKUP ONLINE. The only requirement for probkup online is that the database server is up and running.
However, if After Imaging has been enabled and an online backup of a database is performed, the database engine automatically switches over to the next AI extent. Before the online backup is started, a check must be made making sure the next AI file is empty. If the file is not empty, PROBKUP aborts and an error message is issued stating that probkup cannot switch to the next extent.
probkup online and after-imaging can be combined as a part of a crash recovery strategy. Please refer to the Progress documentation for further details.
