Re: Informix Onbar backup errors utilizing Omniback

Hi,

the error message that you get from On-Bar points to a problem
in the Storage Manager.

Unfortunately I'm not really familiar with Omniback, but surely there
is somewhere a message log for it. This is where I would check for
more information, i.e. why it has a problem with creating the
BSA Object.

I don't know the TESTBAR program/utility at all, so I can't tell you
anything about its syntax ...

object_name :
XBSA is dealing with "objects". Each entity that is backed up
by the SM is an object (with IDS these are the dbspaces and logical
log files). To be able to retrieve these objects again for later
restore,
they are given a name, the "object name".
I think that from the SM/XBSA perspective the object name can be
quite arbitrary, though obviously it helps if each object has a unique
name. The object name needs to be provided by the user of the XBSA
interface. So either you provide it, or the TESTBAR utility will use
"TestObject" as default ... that's what I gather from the output below
...

regards,
Martin

Subject: Informix Onbar backup errors utilizing Omniback [728]



FYI,
I'm not sure if these are the correct groups to hit for a
question
like this, but here it goes..

I'm Getting a problem when restoring an Informix 7.30.uc6
data base
on HP-UX 10.20 with Openview Storage Data Protector 5.0. (omniback)
getting
the following message:
'XBSA Error (BSACreateObject): A system error occurred. Aborting XBSA
session'.

Also, trying to use TESTBAR utility for troubleshooting. Getting 'Received
ABORT request from RSM (ERR: Bar object not found in the databa
se.)' I'm not sure what it means by object_name. The following is the
syntax for TESTBAR.

** This program simulates integration backup/restore. **

Parameters are:

-type:third-party_application_name, e.g. Oracle required
-appname:instance_of_the_application, e.g. Oracle SID default:same as
-type
-conc:concurrency default:1
-perform:[backup|restore|checkuser] required
-bar:barlist_name required
-rsctype:resource_type e.g. logs default:-
-object:object_name default:"TestObject"
required at
restore
-delay:delay_after_each_block_in_sec default:0
-size:number_of_blocks_to_write default:10
-flags:additional_flags(OK, ABORT, HANG) default:"OK"
-version:object_version required at
restore
-from:source host default:current
host
nam
e
-file:filename_to_use default:-
-verbose default:-

Example:
testbar -type:MSSQL -perform:backup -file:data.doc -bar:Seven
-object:Data


Any help or wisdom would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks
Ken
