AW: onlog and onbar

Hi. My Informix support found a bug report: CUSTOMER-REPORTED BUGS FIXED IN 10.00.UC1 bug_number 115798 description onbar -P needs to be provided officially for our customers because there is no way to view the logs backuped by onbar like onlog for ontape So, onbar -P definitively doesn't work in 9.40. Because also onlog doesn't work with onbar or a Storage Manager there is no way to see Logical Log Files no longer on disk with 9.40 on stdout. >From version 10.0 it should work, e.g. onbar -P -n 2 -l -q -b -u "informix" -t 1048722 -x 1 (see manual backup and restore). Just for info.
