Logging System Header Screen--Status Field Values
The Status field on the Logging System Header screen can have the following values:
ACP_ SHUTDOWN
The archiver is preparing to shut down. (This indicates that an rcpconfig command with the shutdown option has been issued.)
ARCHIVE
The archiver process is archiving journaled transactions to the journal files.
BCPSTALL
The logging system is requesting the recovery process to start writing a begin consistency point.
CKP_SBACKUP
The logging system marks the start of on-line backup. It marks this block as the on-line backup start block (SB). Ckpdb starts backing up the database.
CLOSEDB
The logging system is in the process of closing a database.
CPFLUSH
DBMS servers are flushing their modified pages to disk.
CPNEEDED
The logging system is about to take a consistency point.
CPWAKEUP
The logging system is synchronizing the fast-commit threads.
DISABLE_DUAL_LOGGING
The logging system is in the process of disabling dual logging.
DUAL_LOGGING
Dual logging is enabled.
Note: DUAL_LOGGING does not mean that both primary and dual logs are active. To determine this, check for Active Log(s).)
ECP
The logging system is requesting that the recovery process start writing an end consistency point.
ECPDONE
The logging system has taken an end consistency point. This status flag is present most of the time while the logging system is functioning normally.
FORCE_ ABORT
The force-abort-limit has been reached; the logging system is aborting the oldest transaction. The Log Transaction Display screen can be used to find out which transaction is being aborted.
IMM_SHUTDOWN
The logging system has been told to shut down immediately. (This is displayed when the user invokes rcpconfig with the imm_shutdown option.) Note that the logging system does not perform any housekeeping as part of the shutdown process. The recovery process becomes responsible for backing out any uncommitted transactions left in the log file once the logging system has been restarted.
LOGFULL
The log file is full. The system administrator must determine the cause of this and increase the log file size. A warning indicator is also displayed.
MAN_ABORT
The logging system has been requested to manually abort a distributed transaction.
MAN_COMMIT
The logging system has been requested to manually commit a distributed transaction.
ONLINE
The logging system is on line. The logging and recovery systems are operating OK.
OPENDB
The logging system is in the process of opening a database.
PURGEDB
A database has been closed by the last user who had it open; the archiver is archiving transactions that belong to this database.
RCP_RECOVER
The recovery process is recovering transactions from a runaway DBMS.
RECOVER
The logging system has requested the recovery process to perform recovery.
START_ARCHIVER
This is an important status that indicates that the archiver has stopped and must be restarted by the database administrator (DBA). This is not done automatically. If the archiver is not restarted, the log file eventually fills up, reaching the LOG_FILE_FULL limit, and causing Ingres to stall.
START_SHUTDOWN
The logging system is shutting down. As part of the shutdown process, the logging system commits to disk all the committed transactions and backs out any uncommitted ones. The archiver also journals all the committed transactions for tables with journaling enabled.
