In Response To: RE: log_full.sh getting Aborted by client. (John Adamski (Work Account))

Hi John,

it's not really a recommended / supported combination, using ontape for=20
dbspace backups and onbar for log backups - it might work during a=20
restore if you split the restore into a physical and a logical restore,=20
but no guarantees.

Now that you're using onbar for the logs, and Informix PSM obviously as=20
your storage manager (which might be an unconscious decision as PSM just=20
work out of the box, not asking for configuration, if you haven't=20
configured BAR=5FBSALIB=5FPATH), where are these backups going to, who's=20
taking care of disk space management?
-> check $INFORMIXDIR/backup directory if you haven't explicitly=20
configured differently.

Try 'onbar -m' to learn about bar=5Fact.log file (BAR=5FACT=5FLOG onconfi=
g=20
param) and see last 20 lines.
-> might want to post a few more than these 20 lines.

Just seeing you've already resolved the problem, still sending this out,=20
mainly to alert you to my first point above.

Cheers,
Andreas

Also to clarify, we have had two database backups (ontape -s -L 0 ) and we =

also rebooted the server to see if that would get things working again.=20
None=20
of these seem to have changed the fact the onbar process is aborting.=20

Hi Adam,=20

so you're using PSM, right? So onbar for log backups? How would this fit =

Can we have Informix version and platform info, please?=20
And the bar=3D5Fact.log ...=20
