The following table lists the configuration parameters that apply to the ON-Bar backup and restore utility. For more information on these parameters, see the IBM Informix: Backup and Restore Guide.
The onconfig file can contain BAR_SM-specific sections that begin with the BAR_SM parameter and end with the END parameter. The BAR_SM parameter introduces a BAR_SM paragraph that cannot be nested or located inside the storage-manager specific section.
You must specify some ON-Bar parameters in the BAR_SM section only, some in the BAR_SM or global section, and some in the global section only.
