Crash recovery occurs when an application using SQL abends and DB2 rolls
back any updates to the previous commit point. This can occur in a user
application or a DB2 application. The crash recovery completed successfully.

In the case when DB2 itself crashes (or the operating system), then crash
recovery takes place when DB2 starts up the next time. In certain cases,
some threads may be "in-doubt" which means DB2 is not sure whether to roll
back previous work, and DBA input may required to resolve this.

Crash recovery is different than roll-forward recovery. Roll forward
recovery occurs when a previous backup is restored, and updates from the
point of the backup until the current point in time (usually) are reapplied
via the logs. Roll forward recovery requires archive logging, or the user
exit program for logging, be activated.
