I updated the DB2 parameters in LOGARCHMETH1 to OFF. It worked fine after bouncing the database.
When I tried to turn on again the LOGARCHMETH1 and specify a DISK for the log archive of the database, used the command:
update db cfg for "DES" using LOGARCHMETH1 DISK:G:\db2\DES\log_archive\
It prompts that the parameters submitted for immediate modification were not changed dynamically. Database must be shutdown and reactivated before the config parameter changes become effective. So I restart/bounce the database with:
db2stop
db2start
Tried to check the database config again if the changes was made, but now
I cannot anymore connect to the database and I was being prompt with error:
SQL1116N A connection to or activation of database "DES" cannot be
made because of BACKUP PENDING. SQLSTATE=57019SQL1116N A connection to or activation of database "DES" cannot be
made because of BACKUP PENDING.
Any suggestions on how to activate back the database? Since now I cannot turn on the application for this one.

Backup pending means you need to take an offline backup. Since you went from circular to archive logging DB2 needs a point in time from where it can apply the logs.
