How to clean Logical log files

Hello,

I have a non production Database. I'm develop actually an application who will run with a Informix Database. The last week I imported a very big amount of records to the Database and now the logical log files are full. I get the following messages:

Logical Log Files are Full -- Backup is Needed.

I don't want to make a Backup because this is not a production database. Instead of that, I want just to clean all logical log files. How can I do that?

Best Regards

Alfredo

set your LTAPEDEV to /dev/null and perform ontape -a

in the future, if you are going to load a lot of data, either turn off logging, and you will not have a problem or use dbload to load the tables (it has a commit option) and run ontape -c for the continuous backup of logical logs
