When onbar starts

The BAR_PROGRESS_FREQ configuration parameter specifies, in minutes, the frequency of the progress messages in the ON–Bar activity log for backup and restore operations. For example, if you set BAR_PROGRESS_FREQ to 5, ON–Bar reports the percentage of the object backed up or restored every five minutes. If you set BAR_PROGRESS_FREQ to 0 or do not set it, ON–Bar does not write any progress messages to the activity log.

Too frequent progress messages fill the activity log. So if you set BAR_PROGRESS_FREQ to 1, 2, 3, or 4, ON–Bar automatically resets it to 5 to prevent overflow in the ON–Bar activity log. Infrequent progress messages might make it hard to tell if the operation is progressing satisfactorily.

If ON–Bar cannot determine the size of the backup or restore object, it reports the number of transfer buffers sent to the database server instead of the percentage of the object backed up or restored.
