Table 19 lists the files that ON–Bar, ISM, and TSM use and the directories in which they reside. These names and locations change if you set up the ONCONFIG file to values different than the defaults.
| Filename | Directory | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| ac_config.std | $INFORMIXDIR/etc, %INFORMIXDIR%\etc | Template for archecker parameter
values.
The ac_config.std file contains the default archecker (archive checking) utility parameters. To use the template, copy it into another file and modify the values. |
| ac_msg.log | /tmp, %INFORMIXDIR%\etc | archecker message log.
When you use archecker with ON–Bar to verify a backup, it writes brief status and error messages to the ON–Bar activity log and writes detailed status and error messages to the archecker message log. Technical Support uses the archecker message log to diagnose problems with backups and restores. Specify the location of the archecker message log with the AC_MSGPATH configuration parameter. |
| bar_act.log | /tmp, %INFORMIXDIR% | ON–Bar activity log.
For more information, see The ON-Bar Activity Log. |
| bldutil.process_id | /tmp,
\tmp |
When the sysutils database is created, error messages appear in this file. |
| dsierror.log | $DSMI_LOG | TSM API error log. |
| dsm.opt | $DSMI_CONFIG | TSM client user option file. |
| dsm.sys | $DSMI_DIR | TSM client system option file. |
| Emergency boot files (ixbar* files) | $INFORMIXDIR/etc, %INFORMIXDIR%\etc | Used in a cold restore. For more information, see The Emergency Boot Files. |
| ISM catalog | $INFORMIXDIR/ism, %ISMDIR% | Records information about backup and restore
save sets and storage volumes that ISM uses.
ISM creates the ISM catalog during the ism_startup initialization. The ISM catalog records are stored in the mm, index, and res files. For more information, see the IBM Informix: Storage Manager Administrator's Guide. |
| ISM logs | $INFORMIXDIR
/ism/logs, %ISMDIR%\logs |
Operator alert messages, backend status, additional ISM information. The ISM log names are daemon.log, messages, and summary. |
| ISMversion | $INFORMIXDIR/ism, %ISMDIR%\bin | Identifies the ISM version. Do not edit this file. |
| oncfg_servername.
servernum (IDS) |
$INFORMIXDIR/etc, %INFORMIXDIR%\etc | Configuration information for ON–Bar restores.
The database server creates the oncfg_servername.servernum file when you initialize disk space. The database server updates the file every time that you add or delete a dbspace, a logical-log file, or a chunk. The database server uses the oncfg* file when it salvages logical-log files during a cold restore. The database server uses the oncfg* files, so do not delete them. |
| oncfg_servername.
servernum.coserverid (XPS) |
$INFORMIXDIR/etc, %INFORMIXDIR%\etc | Configuration information for ON–Bar restores. On XPS, the oncfg* files are on each coserver. |
| save, savegrp, savefs | $INFORMIXDIR/bin, %ISMDIR%\bin | ISM commands use these executable files. Do not edit them. |
| sm_versions | $INFORMIXDIR/etc, %INFORMIXDIR%\etc | Identifies storage manager in use.
To update the storage-manager version, edit the sm_versions file directly or run the ism_startup script. For more information, see Updating the sm_versions File. |
| xbsa.messages | $INFORMIXDIR
/ism/applogs, %ISMDIR%\applogs |
XBSA library call information.
ON–Bar and ISM use XBSA to communicate with each other. Technical Support uses the xbsa.messages log to fix problems with ON–Bar and ISM communications. |
| xcfg_servername.
servernum (XPS) |
$INFORMIXDIR/etc, %INFORMIXDIR%\etc | Internal server configuration information.
The xcfg* file contains information about coserver location and dbslice definitions. |
