BAR_BSALIB_PATH

onconfig.std value	UNIX	$INFORMIXDIR/lib/ibsad001.platform_ extension where platform_extension is the shared-library file extension
onconfig.std value	Windows	libbsa.dll
if value not present	Windows	None
takes effect	IDS: When onbar-driver starts XPS: When an onbar-worker process starts

ON–Bar and the storage manager rely on a shared library to integrate with each other. Configure the BAR_BSALIB_PATH configuration parameter for your storage-manager library. Support for BAR_BSALIB_PATH is platform-specific. Check your machine notes to determine if you can use it with your operating system. You can change the value of BAR_BSALIB_PATH between a backup and restore.

To ensure that this integration takes place, specify the shared-library pathname. Set one of the following options:

Place the storage-manager library in the default directory.
UNIX Only

For example, the suffix for Solaris is so, so you specify $INFORMIXDIR/lib/ibsad001.so on a Solaris system.

End of UNIX Only
Place the storage-manager library in any directory and create a symbolic link from $INFORMIXDIR/lib/ibsad001.platform_extension to it.
If you use ISM, create a symbolic link to $INFORMIXDIR/lib/libbsa.platform_extension or set BAR_BSALIB_PATH to this absolute path value.

If you use TSM, create a symbolic link to $INFORMIXDIR/lib/libtxbsa.platform_extension or set BAR_BSALIB_PATH to this absolute path value.
Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. For example, to use ISM on Solaris, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to $INFORMIXDIR/lib.
Set the pathname for the ISM shared library to %ISMDIR%\bin\libbsa.dll.
The %ismDIR% variable includes a version or release number. For example:
set ISMDIR=C:\program files\informix\ism\2.20. This directory is set when the database server is installed on Windows. This pathname is different if you use a different storage manager.

Tip:

Be sure that the shared library can access the backup data in the storage manager in a restore. You cannot back up using one storage manager and restore using a different storage manager.
