Just by typing in archecker at the command line, you get these parameters: archecker -b -D -d -R -F -v -s -t -T -V Version 4.3 Compiled 08/27/98 05:33 on SunOS 5.4 Generic_101945-49 ========================================= -b Direct XBSA access -D Delete old files and EXIT -d Delete old files -F Retrieve list of pages off the archive -P Read Performance - info only -R Restart the checking -s Print status message to the screen -t Read the tape directly -T Restart at a specific tape -v Verbose -V Version The only documentation I know of came with the Backup & Restore class. There are a couple of things you have to configure first like your $INFORMIXDIR/etc/ac_config.std file which is set by an environment variable known as AC_CONFIG. So set AC_CONFIG to the location of your ac_config.std file and then modify that file before starting archecker. Here's a typical command line execution: archecker -tds Hope this helps. > > > dear informix-group, > > > > we are using ontape to backup our ids 7.31. i want to know how to use > > archecker and which parameters must be set to run archecker. does a > > documentation exist for archecker? > > who can help me? > > > > Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ > > Before you buy. > > > > Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ > Before you buy. -- Phillip Tien Database Administrator Whole Foods Market, Inc.
