Posting from the Informix-list

Hi I am running IDS-7.3 My logical log device is set to /dev/null. The following message is displayed on my screen: "Logical Log Files are Full - Backup is needed" When I do a onstat -l I can see that all the log are full but also backed up. Am I missing the train? Can any body give me some advice? Thanks David Reed

If a long transaction is not the cause of your problem, you might be running into something I discovered back in 7.23.UC1. In this earlier version, if you changed the LTAPEDEV to /dev/null after the engine was initialized, log behavior would appear to be normal (onstat -l output and all). But when you wrapped back to the first logical log, the engine would force you to perform a logical log backup. I found that if you initialized the engine with LTAPEDEV already set to /dev/null, then all was well. If you changed the LTAPEDEV parameter to /dev/null after you initialized your instance, you might want to try bouncing the engine (after backing up the logs, of course) and see if the problem persists.
