Hi. i have an hpux system running informix 7.31 which includes onbar and informix storage manager ISM. I've configured (i think) ism to backup to hard disk by adding an informix user administrator an adding a device type=file pointing at some directory i created. i set BAR_BSALIB_PATH to $INFORMIXDIR/lib/libbsa.sl on my onconfig file. When i run unbar -b to create a backup i get this on my bar_act.log: 2005-08-31 20:23:23 11304 11302 /u/informix/bin/onbar_d -b 2005-08-31 20:23:23 11304 11302 Logical Logs will not be backed up because LTAPEDEV value is /dev/null 2005-08-31 20:23:25 11304 11302 Begin level 0 backup rootdbs. 2005-08-31 20:23:25 11304 11302 Successfully connected to Storage Manager. 2005-08-31 20:23:25 11304 11302 XBSA Error (BSACreateObject): A system error occurred.

It is getting to ISM, otherwise you wouldn't get a "Successfully connected to Storage Manager" message. Re-check how you are collecting the ISM log information. Hope this helps. Brice Avila

I think maybe the problem is I'm trying to backup to disc, but I'm not sure how can i configure ISM to acomplish this. -- Posted using the http://www.dbforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.dbforumz.com/Informix-onbar-backup-error-ftopict252730.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).
