What is archive log ?
Archive log : The portion of the DB2 log that contains log records that have been moved (off-loaded) from the active log because there is no more space for them in the active log.
active log -The portion of the DB2 log to which log records are written as they are generated. The active log always contains the most recent log records, whereas the archive log contains those records that are older and will no longer fit on the active log.
