Setting archive values

Use the Set Archive window to set the upper limit for the number of tape units, and the deallocation time of tape units for the archive log. The values that you can set override the values specified during installation or any previous values set using the Set archive command. The changes that set archive makes are temporary; at restart DB2 again uses the values set during installation.

Authorities and privileges

To set archive values:

1. Open the Set Archive window.

2. Select a radio button:
   • To use the values defined during installation, click the Reset to default values radio button.
     
   • To define new values, select the Set maximum number of tape units radio button to set the maximum number of tape units that can be dedicated to reading archive logs. Or select the Set deallocation time length to set the length of time during which an allocated archive read tape unit is allowed to remain unused before it is deallocated. Or select the Set Both radio button to specify both the maximum number of tape units and length of deallocation time for the tape units.
