In Response To: TSM and Informix 11.10 on Windows (SERGIOS ZAGOTSIS)

Hello SZ,

Issue 1:
The ixbar.xxx file is a file where Informix keeps track of it's backups.
It is the external version of the sysutils database. There seems to be an
initial check on the existence of this file, which fails (errno 2 = not
exists). The file should be created if it does not exist. Check if there
is a problem with access rights settings in the directory.

Issue 2: An unspecified XBSA error can occur for various reasons. It will
help, if you provide the XBSA error number. The number specified in the
appended mail '117768210' is out of reach.
Please verify the following :
1. 'sm_versions' file exists under $INFORMIXDIR/etc and has the right
entry for TSM
2. Environment variables 'DSMI_DIR', 'DSMI_LOG' and 'DSMI_CONFIG' are set
to the right entries and are in the PATH
3. 'DSMI_LOG' has right Read/Write access permission

Also, provide the output of 'dsierror.log' file

Thanks,

TSM and Informix 11.10 on Windows [21109]

Hi,

We have installed recently IDS 11.10 TC30 on windows 2003 enterprise
edition.
We have also Tivoli server installed
WE are trying to backup using onbar to TSM server.
TSM server version 5.3.4 and TSM client 6.

We have followed some papers about the TSM,IDS and onbar configuration.
>From TSM log we can see that TSM client is connected to TSM server and
moumts
a tape.

on_bar log contains except the other

2010-09-01 12:07:47 2432 2432 (-43078) Open or close failed on file
'C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\IBMINF~1\11.10\etc\ixbar.0', errno = 2 .
No such file or directory
2010-09-01 12:07:47 2432 2432 Begin level 0 backup rootdbs.
2010-09-01 12:07:52 2432 2432 Successfully connected to Storage Manager.
2010-09-01 12:08:20 2432 2432 XBSA Error (BSAQueryObject): An unspecified
XBSA
error has occured: 117768210

Question 1
Does ixbar. file must already exist on IDS or it will be created after the

first backup?
I have run onsmsync -b (end it successfully) but still no ixbar. file
created.

Question 2.
Does the second error XBSA is the real problem?

Following are some information to may be help you

We trying to use onbar -b -w &#942; onbar -b -L0 commands

Informix onconfig has the following definition for onbar

# Backup/Restore variables
BAR_ACT_LOG C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\IBMINF~1\11.10\bar_ol_primetest.log #Path of
log
file for onbar.exe
BAR_DEBUG_LOG C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\IBMINF~1\11.10\bar_ol_primetest.log #Path of
the
debug log for onbar.exe
BAR_MAX_BACKUP 0
BAR_RETRY 1
BAR_NB_XPORT_COUNT 20
BAR_XFER_BUF_SIZE 15
BAR_PROGRESS_FREQ 0
BAR_BSALIB_PATH C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\IBMINF~1\11.10\bin\libtxbsa.dll # Location
