When you reset the value in memory by running the onmode -wm command.

Usage

If LOG_INDEX_BUILDS is enabled, logical log file space consumption will increase, depending on the size of the indexes. This might lead to logical log file backups being required more frequently. Messages are written to the online.log file when index page logging status changes.

Tip for RS secondary servers: Using onmode -wm enables or disables index page logging for the current session only, and does not affect the setting in the onconfig file. If the server is stopped and restarted, the setting in the onconfig file determines whether index page logging is enabled. Therefore, enabling index page logging using onmodem -wm is not recommended when using RS secondary servers; instead, use onmode -wf to update the onconfig file, so that index page logging is enabled after restarting the server. Index page logging is a requirement when using RS secondary servers.
