Reasons / Common Causes

-43141 fires when BAR_MAX_BACKUP exceeds the parallel backup/restore process limit the running Informix Dynamic Server edition allows — per the official guidance.

BAR_MAX_BACKUP configured above the edition's parallel-process limit, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause; informational, not a failure.

Solutions / Resolution

No action is required, per the official guidance — BAR_MAX_BACKUP is dynamically reset to the edition's maximum allowed value.

Examples

N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond BAR_MAX_BACKUP exceeding the edition's limit; the limit and reset value are embedded in the message.

Diagnostic Checks

Check the running edition's documented parallel backup/restore process limit, if a higher BAR_MAX_BACKUP was intended (may require a different edition).
