One possibility, which I have seen at clients, is that the database is on very slow disk.

Hi Joni Its strange to see recovery log filling up to 5GB level in NORMAL mode ( you mentioned that in ur previous mail). In NORMALMODE recovery log doesn't keep transactions, it deletes transaction as soon as it committed to database.Thats why only Point-in-Retsore ( till the last consistent database backup) possible with recovery log in NORMAL mode. You can't use database backup trigger with recovery log in NORMAL mode. with TSM 5.x Recovery Log max size is 13GB. I can't figure out the reason for this behaviour.Let me know if you could find the reason. Thanks regds Raghu -----Original Message----- From: Joni Moyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 7:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: recovery log filling up rapidly: Please help: EMERGENCY!!!!! My recovery log is filling up at a rapid rate. I am running TSM at 4.1.3 on the mainframe. It is 4.6 GB and my DB is 48 GB with 46 GB in use. I am not running expiration of the inventory yet due to a previous deletion of a nodes data, could that be the cause? I noticed that the log is reaching about 95% full before I run another full backup. I usually run a full DB backup every day at 4:30. What can I do? I can't increase the recovery log because I guess on this version it can only go to 5 GB? What version is this no longer true for? I really need help and I can't find anyone from IBM to return my calls. My previous problem with the recovery log is no longer true. It does now reset back to 0% after a full backup, but I am running out of space. I do have the log fully extended and with the 5 GB limit I am stuck. Also, I can't set up a DB backup trigger because I am on the mainframe and that feature of TSM is not available. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!!!!
