In a stand-alone, non-replicated JE application, the log is
|
||
strictly append only. You use the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/util/DbBackup.html" target="_top">DbBackup</a> class to help
|
||
applications coordinate while database operations are
|
||
continuing to add to the log. This helper class does this by
|
||
defining the log files needed for a consistent backup, and then freezes
|
||
all changes to those files, including any changes that might be
|
||
made by JE background operations. The application can copy
|
||
that defined set of files and finish operation without checking
|
||
for the ongoing creation of new files. Also, there will be no
|
||
need to check for a newer version of the last file on the next
|
||
backup.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
When you are using JE HA, however, log files other than the
|
||
last log file might be modified as part of the HA sync-up
|
||
operation. Though a rare occurrence, such
|
||
modifications would invalidate the backup because there is the
|
||
chance that files are modified after being copied.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If this happens, <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/util/DbBackup.html#endBackup()" target="_top">DbBackup.endBackup()</a> throws a
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/LogOverwriteException.html" target="_top">LogOverwriteException</a>. Upon encountering this exception, the
|
||
backup files should be discarded and a new set of backup files
|
||
created.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
For example:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting"> for (int i=0; i < BACKUP_RETRIES; i++) {
|
||
final ReplicatedEnvironment repEnv = ...;
|
||
final DbBackup backupHelper = new DbBackup(repEnv);
|
||
|
||
backupHelper.startBackup();
|
||
String[] filesForBackup =
|
||
backupHelper.getLogFilesInBackupSet();
|
||
|
||
/* Copy the files to archival storage. */
|
||
myApplicationCopyMethod(filesForBackup);
|
||
|
||
try {
|
||
backupHelper.endBackup();
|
||
break;
|
||
} catch (LogOverwriteException e) {
|
||
/* Remove backed up files. */
|
||
myApplicationCleanupMethod();
|
||
continue;
|
||
} finally {
|
||
repEnv.close();
|
||
}
