Informix Error -43341: (-43341) Logical log <log-uniq-id> is needed by this restore but cannot be found in (null). </log-uniq-id>

Cause and resolution

(-43341) Logical log <log-uniq-id> is needed by this restore but cannot be found in (null). </log-uniq-id>

After physical restore of a dbspace, a minimum set of logs can be required to maintain the logical consistency of the database server.

ACTION If this is a whole-system restore, the logical restore part will be disabled so the DBA can find the logs (if needed) and perform a logical restore (-r -l).

If this is a non whole-system restore, the restore cannot proceed until the missing log are found.
