Name of a DB2 restoration of the same database at a different time

Question

Each time I perform a restore of the same database, but at a different time (different version recoveries), a CXXXXXXX directory is created in the archive log directory. This is normal, but I would like to know the right term of that new db branch. How is it called in db2?

• a fork
• a branch
• an incarnation

This is like a split brain but not in HADR, but when performing restores in the same machine.

Answer 1

These are called Log Chains. Each log chain is associated with a particular database seed. When you perform point in time recovery DB2 increments the database seed.
