Hello, Informix Expert: We are running informix online 5.01 UD1 on HP-UX 9000. The program cancelled at 28'th tape when executing Level 0 archive, and give us a return code 256 (Transaction not available). Our Level 0 archive is running under "QUIESCENT MODE", so there is no transaction and we are not planning to have any tranaction. Also I do believe at that time, all user off duty and no user background process running. As I know, our other small site also have this problem, they just do it again. But in this site, total backup will use 29 tapes (200 MB / tape). Any one can explain this or give any comment are wellcom. Thanks.
