RE: Two questions

Guys/gals I have tested onbar restore after setting LTAPEDEV to /dev/null and ALARMPROGRAM to no_log.sh, to see if onbar works while logical logs are being trashed. The restore is failing in my case. We are using SCH's Informix-dbBRZ with STK's ReelBackup as the storage manager. Informix techis have done their tests using ISM and the restore is successful. What could be going wrong?? If somebody wants to help I can send more information. BTW, we are using Informix IDS 7.30.UC7A.

How about posting the bar_act.log and any logs from STK or SCH for the affected periods.
