Using ontape in alarmprogram.bat

Do anyone has the experience using ' ontape -a' to replace onbar -b -l to backup the logical log? I make below changes,it does not Work. Alarmprogram.bat Set BACKUP_CMD=ontape -a $ONCONFIG LTAPEDEV=c:\\\\tmp\\\\idslog.dat Copy nul idslog.dat

Hi, I would add a shell script here which contains a call to "ontape -a -d" from out of the alarm script. We only have experience in Linux based systems but this should work in windows, too. Our backup shell scripts prepare the directory, populate IFX_ONTAPE_FILE_PREFIX, then call ontape -a -d, checking the output afterwards and send a mail in case of any error. Remember to add the -d option to indicate a backup in a directory. Marcus Haarmann ----- Ursprüngliche Mail ----- Von: "CHUAN LU" <luchuan@cn.ibm.com> An: ids@iiug.org Gesendet: Freitag, 13.

Actually Marcus, backup to a directory behavior is automatically detected. The -d option just indicates an archive that is non-interactive and so disables all prompts so the archive will never pause for user input. Art Art S.
