EXTEND LOG (Increase the Assigned Capacity of the Recovery Log)

Use this command to increase space that can be used by the recovery log in all allocated recovery log volumes.

Attention: Do not change the size of an allocated recovery log volume after it is defined to TSM. If you do, TSM may not initialize correctly and data could be lost.

The EXTEND LOG command can be initiated while users are accessing the server. Use the QUERY LOG command to determine how much you can increase the assigned capacity of the recovery log.

Privilege Class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege or unrestricted storage privilege.

Syntax

                            .-Wait--=--No------.
>>-EXTend LOG--megabytes----+------------------+---------------><
                            '-Wait--=--+-No--+-'
                                       '-Yes-'
