Hi all, we have IDS 9.4 installed on Windows 2003 server.
The problem is that when I try to backup using command
onbar -b -w -L 1 bootstrap creation failed.
There are no errors in
server message log and onbar activity log but when onbar script tries to
create bootstrap by (ism_catalog -create_bootstrap...) the following output
is writen out:

d:\informix\bin\onbar -b -w -L 1

If anybody can assist me with this problem I will be very grateful.

Hi,

Please check if BAR_XFER_BUF_SIZE=15, and test permissions of user that run onbar.
Look the output file BAR_ACT_LOG and define BAR_BSALIB_PATH.

Gustavo.

Please remember that if firts back-up, must be level 0.

Gustavo

BAR_XFER_BUF_SIZE was set to 15 and BAR_BSALIB_PATH was defined.
here is BAR_ACT_LOG output:

Hi,
Excellent. The message number 152 is because a process onbar be running.
The error occure because one logical logs was full.
This work OK.

Gustavo.

Yes, I know what is error 152, but is this error the reason why bootstrap
creation failed?

I found out, that when I unplugged the network cable and restarted IDS, onbar worked fine and bootstrap was created. But when I started IDS with enabled network then the same problem appeared.
Any ideas??
Thanks
