Luc,

> P.S. : is there precaution that I should take before changing the mode

The best advice I can give is that you review the TSM Administrator's
Guide. The chapter on "Protecting and Recovering Your Server" includes
information on roll forward mode. You should also look up the SET LOGMODE
command in the Administrator's Reference and not only review that command,
but the other commands that are related to SET LOGMODE (as described in
the SET LOGMODE reference info).

This will give you a better context for understanding the benefits and
ramifications of using roll forward mode (which is strongly recommended).

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
