With the ISM available in IDS v7.3, this tool provides a solution to smaller instances that cannot yet afford a full, third-party XBSA archive system. (Replacing the role of ontape.) OnBar is also fully capable of archiving very large instances in parallel (obviating onarchive.) _____________________________________________________________ Clem Akins (aka clem@informix.com) Menlo Park x5937 Customer Course Development Informix Software, Inc Last seen: Hiking Mt.
