This is from Online Admin Guide 7.1 Volume 1 Pages 30-12 and 30-13 It says (on page 30-13, Right hand side of the page i.e. Seconday Server, Below onmode command and Messages to message log. "IF all logical log records written to the primary database server since step 1 still reside on the primary database server disk, teh secondary database server reads these records to perform logical recovery (otherwise step 5 must be performed)." Since you have done a Log. log backup to tape on the primary, the primary no longer has a record of the logical logs on that tape. Hence the secondary cannot get them from the primary. You need to feed them to the secondary, by doing an ontape -l and giving it the logical log tape. >What can we do? > >Thanks >christian.winterhager@orbit.de > -- David Williams Maintainer of the Informix FAQ Primary site (Beta Version) http://www.smooth1.demon.co.uk Official site http://www.iiug.org/techinfo/faq/faq_top.html I see you standin', Standin' on your own, It's such a lonely place for you, For you to be If you need a shoulder, Or if you need a friend, I'll be here standing, Until the bitter end...
