Informix Error -43060: The buffer <buffer-name> exceeded maximum allowed limit. Changing </buffer-name> buffer size to <size-value>.
Cause and resolution
The buffer <buffer-name> exceeded maximum allowed limit. Changing </buffer-name> buffer size to <size-value>.
Transport buffer size is limited by the X/Open Backup Services API specification. ON-Bar is changing the buffer size to the maximum allowed value.
</size-value>Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance
Reasons / Common Causes
-43060 fires when a configured transport buffer exceeds the maximum the X/Open Backup Services API specification allows — per the official guidance, ON-Bar automatically changes it to the maximum allowed value.
- A configured transport buffer size exceeding the X/Open Backup Services API's maximum limit, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause; informational, not a failure.
Solutions / Resolution
- No action is required, per the official guidance — ON-Bar automatically uses the maximum allowed buffer size.
Examples
N/A
No specific triggering statement is documented beyond a configured buffer size exceeding the spec's maximum; the buffer name and adjusted size are embedded in the message.
Diagnostic Checks
- Check the relevant
BAR_XFER_BUF_SIZE-style configuration parameter, and lower it to the reported maximum if the automatic adjustment isn't desired.
