ok, so the big question is what is after image, do i need it to work?

from administration guide:

The after-imaging feature lets you recover a database that was damaged when a failure caused
the loss of the database or primary recovery (before image) area. When you enable
after-imaging, the database engine writes notes containing a description of all database changes
to the after-image (AI) files. You can use the AI files with the roll-forward recovery process to
restore the database to the condition it was in before you lost the database, without losing
completed transactions that occurred since the last backup.​

So if it is development server then there probably is no need to worry about the data since it is easy retrieved by restoring a backup from production.​

have tried the following commands in the db directory and come up with these results.....​

In my previous answer I said:​

You can do 2 things to prevent this error: ​

1. since this a development environment and the data is easily recovered from the production environment: don't start the aiw and you wont have the error.
2. If you do want to start the aiw then you have to enable after image first. (after restore: rfutil /pathtodatabase/databasname -C aimage begin).

To stop the aiw form starting you need to comment it in or remove it from the startup script you are using There must be an entry like proaiw /path/to/database/databasename this starts the after image writer (aiw).​

So either do 1 or 2 to prevent the error from happening.​
