In Example 4-6 on page 76, the minilogs for tables RACE and SHOP already exist but are updated with the latest log records. New minilogs are created for table VAN1, either because db2mm was not run against this table before or because there was no update activity. If there is a fourth table in the RELAY table space without any update activity, no message or minilogs are produced. 4.3.8 Directory path for minilogs If you do not specify the -m path file parameter on the db2mm command, the minilogs are written to following path: {RE_Install_Path}{/}data{/}DB2_Instance_Name{/}minilogs{/}database_name \NODEnnnn\nodegroup\tablespace Check that this is the path coded in the recex.properties file in the DB2 RE conf directory, as follows: minilogs.path={DATA_DIR}{/}minilogs The minilogs are written to a directory which is determined when the db2mm command is run. If you do not code the -m path parameter, the path in the properties file is used. Subsequently, when the DB2 RE is determining the potential recover paths driven from the GUI, the same path should be used to read the minilogs, as is coded in the properties file.
