ids version : 11.5 os: redhat as4

I follow ids backup and restore manual 's instruction :

1. Set the LTAPEDEV parameter to a existing directory.
2. Set the ALARMPROGRAM parameter to the full path for log_full.sh on
UNIX or log_full.bat on Windows.
3. Change the backup program in the ALARMPROGRAM parameter from onbar
-b -l to ontape -a -y.
4. Restart the database server

But it did'nt work.
I issue 'ontape -a' , logical log will be backup to the directory
that
assigned in LTAPEDEV.

)

1. Ensure :

ALARMPROGRAM $INFORMIXDIR/etc/alarmprogram.sh

2. Ensure alarmprogram.sh has :

BACKUPLOGS=Y
BACKUP_CMD="ontape -a"

Works for me )

You modified ALARMPROGRAM to log_full.sh and changed alarmprogram.sh - i.e. log_full.sh will be called instead of alarmprogram.sh

I follow your instruction , It still not work!

Hi,

To automatically backup logical logs using the ontape backup to
directory feature:

1) In the ONCONFIG,

ALARMPROGRAM $INFORMIXDIR/etc/alarmprogram.sh


2) Modify alarmprogram.sh script :

BACKUPLOGS=Y
BACKUP_CMD="ontape -a -d"

This will direct ontape log backups to proceed without interactive prompts.

After restarting the server, run ontape -c. Then the "ontape -a" will
work. At least, that's what works for me.
