Updating SAP ABAP Systems on UNIX and Linux: Oracle

Changing the Oracle Database Recovery Mode

Use

You need to change the recovery mode of the database at the beginning and end of downtime.

Prerequisites

Make sure that you can recover the current state of the database before you deactivate database archiving.

Procedure

On the database server, deactivate archiving as follows:

  1. Log on as user ora<dbsid>.

  2. Start program BRSPACE using the following command:

    brspace [-c force] -f dbalter -a noarchlog -f

In the same way as when you deactivate archiving, you can reactivate it as user ora<sid> with program BRSPACE using the following command:

brspace [-c force] -f dbalter -a archlog -f
