Use the ALARMPROGRAM configuration parameter to handle event alarms and start or end automatic log backups.

Use the shell script, log_full.sh or log_full.bat, for starting automatic log backups. Modify this script and set it to the full path of ALARMPROGRAM in the ONCONFIG file.

To generate event alarms, set ALARMPROGRAM to $INFORMIXDIR/etc/ alarmprogram.sh or %INFORMIXDIR%\etc\alarmprogram.bat and modify the file according. For more information, see the IBM Informix: Administrator's Reference.

Important:
When you choose automatic logical-log backups, backup media should always be available for the backup process.

Do not use the continuous log backup command (onbar -b -l -C) if you have automatic log backup set up through the ALARMPROGRAM parameter, and conversely.
