The restart record stores all information that the database system requires to restart the database instance. The database system updates the restart record at each savepoint.
The restart record includes the following entries:
· The starting point of the logging
· The converter starting point that the database system backed up at the last savepoint
· The history directory starting point that the database system backed up at the last savepoint
· The starting point in the internal database file directory
The restart record is on the first page of the first data volume.
