Hello everyone.
We have AI and archiving enabled and those AI files are automatically applied to a DR environment throughout the day. If we shutdown down the database, say for a planned failover, does Progress automatically write those last transactions written to the DB to the AI file and then force a new one which could then be picked up and applied to our DR environment or would I have to run the command to force a new AI file in order for those last transactions to be written to AI?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
1. Does Progress automatically write those last transactions written to the DB to the AI file: YES
2. and then force a new one: NO
3. would I have to run the command to force a new AI file: SORT OF
You can identify the BUSY AI file and ship that over to the DR site without needing to archive it. Or just ship all the dbname.a* files to the DR site and figure it out over there using rfutil db -C aimage scan (where db can be the empty DB) or aimage query.
