do you get the core file when you just backup the logical logs? -----Original Message----- From: owner-informix-list@iiug.org [mailto:owner-informix-list@iiug.org]On Behalf Of briceavila@hotmail.com Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 5:04 PM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: onbar coring when backing-up the logical logs of a whole backup I have a customer running Solaris 8, NetBackup 4.5 MP1 and IDS 9.40.UC3. When running a whole backup, they can backup their physical dbspace data without errors/warnings, but when the backup starts into the logical logs we immediately see onbar core: 2004-05-05 15:27:37 24060 24058 Begin backup logical log 13895. 2004-05-05 15:27:37 24060 24058 Successfully connected to Storage Manager. 2004-05-05 15:28:12 24060 24058 ASSERT: file bar_xbsa.ecbarSendData() line 1331 - contact product support 2004-05-05 15:28:13 24060 24058 See also: /tmp/core.24060 2004-05-05 15:28:24 24060 24058 /ids_9.4/bin/onbar_d complete, returning 159 (0x9f) According to page 11-14 of the Informix Backup and Restore Guide, March 2003 Part No. CT1SLNA (the manual for version 9.40) and Informix twister article 1053470, onbar return code 159 is: "0x9f (159) BAR_BUG.

As I understand Informix support is blaming Veritas, though they haven't seen the core file. Has anyone seen a similar error, or can provide any insight? Any and all responses, including flames, are welcome. Thanks in advance. Brice Avila Minneapolis, Minnesota sending to informix-list

Not when backing up only the logical logs ("onbar -b -l"). But it cores when at the logical log backup phase of a whole backup ("onbar -b -w -L 0").
