UNBUFLOG: specifies to allow the log to be unbuffered.
NOUNBUFLOG: specifies to allow the log data to be buffered in memory.

Details

If the log is buffered in memory and the system fails, some log information may be lost. If the log is not buffered, the log always has all data that is routed to the log. The UNBUFLOG system option is a safety measure to ensure that no log data is lost.
