An incremental backup will clear the log.

Subject: ckpt command


The TSM server has an undocumented command from what I understand called:
"chkpt" or "ckpt". I issue it and it executes without an error message
and nothing in the actlog. Anyone have any idea what that command does? I
know what a checkpoint does in Oracle. Knowing that I expected
that the recovery log would clear once I did it: "q log". It didn't. Any
ideas? While on the same subject, anyone have any undocumented ways, or
ideas
how to empty a recovery log without running a ful tsm database backup?
Thanks!
