LOGFILES and its effect on logging

The LOGFILES configuration parameter, which specifies the number of logical-log files, affects logging.

When you initialize or restart the database server, it creates the number of logical-log files that you specify in the LOGFILES configuration parameter.

You might add logical-log files for the following reasons:

• To increase the disk space allocated to the logical log
• To change the size of your logical-log files
• To enable an open transaction to roll back
• As part of moving logical-log files to a different dbspace
