RE: onbar question

Phillip, (1) Make two copies of the current log_full.sh script. Call them, for example, log_full_A.sh and log_full_B.sh. (2) In the log_full_A.sh script, insert some lines in the area where PROG, USER_LIST, and BACKUP_CMD environment variables are set. In that same place, insert your settings for INFORMIXDIR and INFORMIXSERVER (and maybe for ONCONFIG, too). You may want to export these values, too, just to be on the safe side. (3) Change log_full_B.sh script to insert appropriate environment values for instance B. (4) Change your onconfig files: in the onconfig file for instance A, set ALARMPROGRAM to point to the log_full_A.sh script. (5) Make the corresponding changes to the onconfig file for instance B. (6) Bounce both instances, so that the new onconfig params (specifically, the new ALARMPROGRAM values) will take effect. (7) Verify that the ALARMPROGRAM settings were changed appropriately by looking in your online.log file for each instance. Let me know if this does the trick for you.

I thought about that already, but the log_full.sh script doesn't use any environment variables from what I can see. I've attached that file for reference in case you can decipher it. This is the default script that comes with every installation of Informix that uses onbar. Anyway, maybe you can make something out of it. mosserp@WellsFargo.COM wrote: > I have a similar setup on one of my servers, i.e., 2 instances, same > INFORMIXDIR, using ALARMPROGRAM to backup the logs (except that I'm using > ontape -a to disk for the backups).
