Business Challenge
Large DB2 archive logs require many tapes, making it difficult to access data for recovery. Mounting multiple tapes during a recovery is time-consuming and costly. Many logs contain records that are not needed for recovery, such as index-related log records and log data for user-specified objects.
Business Need
- Recover business applications successfully
- Filter and compress logs, ensuring that storage limitations do not affect recovery
- Reduce storage costs
- Manage recovery resources
Our Solution
PACLOG for DB2 provides substantial archive log media savings so that more archive log data can be stored on DASD, making the data more accessible for recovery. It eliminates multiple tape mounts, operator interaction and rewinding tape. PACLOG uses a patented filtering process and the Extended Compression Architecture™(XCA®)technology to achieve up to a 95% reduction in the size of DB2 archive logs. It also offers improved filtering rates which allows index recovery. Logs processed by PACLOG can reduce network transmission times in support of disaster recovery.
Key Features & Benefits
