RECORDING MAX field (MAXARCH subsystem parameter)

The MAXARCH subsystem parameter controls the maximum number of archive log volumes that are to be recorded in the BSDS.

Acceptable values: 10 to 10000
Default: 10000
Update: Start of changeoption 29 on panel DSNTIPBEnd of change
DSNZPxxx: DSN6LOGP MAXARCH

When this number is exceeded, recording resumes at the beginning of the BSDS.

You must create image copies of all DB2® objects, probably several times, before the archive log data sets are discarded. If you fail to retain an adequate number of archive log data sets for all the image copies, you might need to cold start or reinstall DB2. In both cases, data is lost.
