As far as I know dbexport and dbimport have a limit of 2 GB.

Hi Everybody ,
Environment :
Informix Online 7.20 UC4
DEC Alpha 2000
Digital Unix 3.2G
Problem :
dbexport stores7 -t /dev/rmt0h -b 16 -s 4096000
It works fine without any errors ...
Now
dbimport stores7 -t /dev/rmt0h -b 16 -s 4096000
Header size error ,block size should be 16K,tape size should be
-196608K
and the program aborts
Trial and Error revealed that it works if dbexport with tape size 2097150
We use the same block size , tape size for ontape and it works fine.
restoration also tested and found Ok
Why it is not showing any error while dbexport ?
Anyway I was lucky enough to test it before the actual disk initialisation .
thank God .
