After the DB2 online log files are full, the Commvault software moves them to the DB2 archive path. When you install the DB2 Agent, you specify the parent path where the software stores the archive files, audit error log files, and files that are used in the DB2 recovery process.
The Archive Log path is the disk location that the software uses for DB2 log archiving. The is the location where the software archives the online logs.
Use this procedure to change the DB2 archive path after you install the DB2 Agent.

In a multi-instance and multi-database configuration, you can configure multiple archive paths by configuring this additional setting for each instance and database.
