Hi Farren,
The transaction logs are not backed up during a
"domdsmc incremental" command. The transaction logs
are backed up with the "domdsmc archivelog" command.
You are correct that many customers do a "domdsmc selective"
command once a week (or more often, depending on the
amount of log data generated) so that when a
database is recovered, not as many transaction logs
need to be replayed against the restored database.
DBIIDs can change under different circumstances
such as database compaction.
Thanks,
Del
