Hi - we are hung during a Y2K-Test - can someone help? We did a level-0 archive with onarchive on system-1 and want to restore this on system-2. System-2 is has a different disk structure, but as we use symbolic links to point to the raw-devices this should not make a difference to the system. The restore with ondatartr works fine resoring the dbspaces. Trying to get the database up, we get the following problems (please see the log at the end): 1. Message about our tmpdbspace: This on is not on the level-0 tape (we checked this) but we do have disk space set up (/usr/informix/devices730/tmpdata). 2. An error-message about shared-memory problems. Does someone has some help for us ? Thank you, Jens 10:44:50 Event alarms enabled.

Onarchive is a dead product. Use ontape or onbar to transfer that server to your y2k machine. Onarchive is more trouble than it is worth. Art S.

System-2 is has a different [SNIP]
