backup logical log to directory automatically
Joe, on IDS 11.5 with Red Hat, could not get logical logs backed up automatically to a directory despite following the manual (LTAPEDEV directory, ALARMPROGRAM, ontape -a -y). Jon Ritson advised keeping alarmprogram.sh as ALARMPROGRAM with BACKUPLOGS=Y and BACKUP_CMD=ontape -a. Nick said to run ontape -c after restart. Joe reported it worked after following that advice.

ids version : 11.5 os: redhat as4
I follow ids backup and restore manual 's instruction :
1. Set the LTAPEDEV parameter to a existing directory.
2. Set the ALARMPROGRAM parameter to the full path for log_full.sh on
UNIX or log_full.bat on Windows.
3. Change the backup program in the ALARMPROGRAM parameter from onbar
-b -l to ontape -a -y.
4. Restart the database server
But it did'nt work.
I issue 'ontape -a' , logical log will be backup to the directory
that
assigned in LTAPEDEV.
:o)
1. Ensure :
ALARMPROGRAM $INFORMIXDIR/etc/alarmprogram.sh
2. Ensure alarmprogram.sh has :
BACKUPLOGS=Y
BACKUP_CMD="ontape -a"
Works for me :o)
You modified ALARMPROGRAM to log_full.sh and changed alarmprogram.sh - i.e. log_full.sh will be called instead of alarmprogram.sh

I follow your instruction , It still not work!
After restarting the server, run ontape -c. Then the "ontape -a" will
work. At least, that's what works for me.
I follow Vega's instruction , It work now! Thanks all of you!
