Malcolm,

Error 156 means bad LTAPEDEV value, backup or restore not performed!
Probably you have /dev/null

Please check you LTAPEDEV setting in your $INFORMIXDIR/etc/$ONCONFIG.
There should be also additional messages in the bar log file.
bye
Sandor

Onbar completion codes

Please respond to

I am having fun trying to get onbar to work on IDS 9.40 running on
Linux.

Whenever I run onbar -b -L I get shmdt: errno = 22, and the
bar_act.log indicates that onbar has completed with code 156. Where
can I find what these error codes mean?

As to the shmdt error I have observed that there is a segment of
shared memory owned by Informix which does not get removed when I stop
the engine. It has a status of dest.

There do seem to be rather a large number of segments (>20) for such
a small system.

I would include the ONCONFIG file but there is no link between the
Linux server and the network.

regards

Malcolm

Actually, 152 means that LTAPEDEV = /dev/null. 156 means "0x9c (156)
BAR_NO_PDQPRIORITY. On XPS engines (version 8.x) PDQPRIORITY is not
set in the environment." There used to be a twister article at:

http://www-1.ibm.com/support/retmgr....SW&doc=1053470

.. . . when the link was active that listed many of the onbar error
codes that were not in the Backup and Restore Guide. Sadly this very
helpful document is no longer available via the web. Hope this helps.
