Hi
I am trying to do a physical restore using ontape -r on a Informix Online workgroup server 7.22 tc1.

The program completes successfully. However as per the documentation I wait for the online server to enter the quiscent mode. But waiting for an hour I stil don't see the server entering the quiscent state.
Below is the cmd window outputs.


D:\Tools\Informix\bin>onstat -
*** WARNING: INFORMIX-OnLine server is no longer running. ***

*** WARNING: INFORMIX-OnLine server is no longer running. ***

I would appreciate if someone could help me with this issue.
Thanks

Hi Ketan,

Genearally this error, in Windows, this is in the environment variables definition. Please can you send me the output onstat -d and onstat -m.

Thanks.

Gustavo.

The output for onstat -d

D:\Tools\Informix\bin>onstat -d
*** WARNING: INFORMIX-OnLine server is no longer running. ***

*** WARNING: INFORMIX-OnLine server is no longer running. ***

The output for onstat -m

D:\Tools\Informix\bin>onstat -m
*** WARNING: INFORMIX-OnLine server is no longer running. ***

*** WARNING: INFORMIX-OnLine server is no longer running. ***

I don't know if this could be of any help.
Thanks

Hi,

Please check environmen variables %INFORMIXDIR%, %PATH%,
%INFORMIXSERVER%, %ONCONFIG%, %INFORMIXSQLHOSTS%.
Look for file in \INFORMIXTMP\......
And exist file \%INFORMIXDIR%\etc\.infos.%INFORMIXSERVER%

Hi

I did check up on the values of environment variables. I didn't have a ONCONFIG variable defined.

Should the value for above variable correspond to the path for
%INFMXDIR%\etc\onconfig or the TAPEDEV variable value defined in the onconfig file in etc dir.

The infmxtmp containes the infxdirs file that contains path for informix home directory.

Also a info.entrust_nt file exists in etc where 'entrust_nt' is my database server.

Thanks Gustavo
I really appreciate your help.....
