way to determine success of Lev1 ontape backup?

Hello everyone. I know basic question. Is there a query, a tool (IE: onmonitor or onstat etc) that will show with absolute certainty whether a IDS 9.4 Lev1 ontape backup finished successfully? I mean without the use of shell script log output (which in my case is unreliable)? Thanks

Hi, one way is to use "oncheck -pr" (as user informix). It prints the root reserved pages. The last set of pages is the archive pages (PAGE_1ARCH & PAGE_2ARCH). This will give you information about the levels of archive that have been done, the time and logical log position.
