1st block copied from DB6 555

What causes this issue?

In order to ensure full restoration of the database after importing a
database backup, you must activate logging of changes in log files. You
must also set the two database configuration parameters LOGRETAIN and
USEREXIT correctly.

System Response

If the USEREXIT parameter is not set, there is no longer an automatic
opportunity to archive log files.
If the parameter LOGRETAIN is set, the log directory will gradually
fill up. As soon as this happens, the database engine can no longer
create any new log files, leading to system shutdown.

How to fix this error?

Set the parameter using the command:
<LB>UPDATE DB CFG USING USEREXIT ON</>

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
