Roll-Forward to a point in time

Select this radio button to have changes rolled forward to a specific date and time. If you decide not to specify a date and time, the default is the current date and time. The Next transaction to reapply field displays the date and time of the next transaction that will be reapplied by the roll-forward operation. To determine this date and time, the roll-forward status of all table spaces is checked. The date and time of the table space that has already been rolled forward to the most recent date and time (if any) is displayed.

• Use the Date field to specify the date to which you want to roll forward.

  You can either type the date, or you can click on the arrow to open a calendar on which you select the date. Click on the arrows at the top of the calendar to display the month that you want, then on a date to select it. The calendar closes, and the date you selected will be displayed in the field.

• Use the Time field to specify the time to which you want to roll forward. To change the time, click on the portion of the time that you want to change and either type the value that you want, or use the up and down arrows to adjust the value.

Note:

In a partitioned database environment, if you want to roll forward a table space to a point in time, you must restore the table space partition at each database partition that contains a portion of the table space, and roll forward each table space partition individually to the same point in time. This ensures that the table space is consistent at each node.
