Hi,

I need help on an error with ontape -r with informix:
Informix Database Restore fails with the follow error below. (Pls note that the Backup type is ontape. The restore command is ontape –r.)physical restore failed - function read archive backup failed code -1 errno 78. OS is AIX.43

Execute finderr utility:

finderr 78

You should see:

-78 Deadlock situation detected/avoided.

An operating-system error code with the meaning shown was unexpectedly
returned to the database server. If the error recurs, please note all
circumstances and contact Technical Support at tsmail@us.ibm.com.

Under AIX, this code means connection timed out.
