ON–Bar backup and verification usage.
For Dynamic Server -b [-L level] [-w | -f filename | spaces] [-O] -b -l [-c | -C | -s] [-O] -v [-p] [-t time] [-f filename | spaces] -b back up -c back up current logical log -C continuous logical-log backup -f pathname of file containing list of storage spaces -F fake backup -l back up full logical logs (no spaces) -L back up level: 0, 1, or 2; defaults to 0 -O override internal error checks - enforce policy strictly -w whole-system backup -s salvage logs -v verify consistency of most recent backups spaces list of storage spaces
For IBM Informix Extended Parallel Server:
-b [-S] [-v] [-p] [-q <name>] [-L <level>] [-f <filename> | <spaces>]
-b -l [-q <name>] [-s] [-f <filename> | <coservers>]
-v [-p] [-t <time>] [-q <name>] [-L <level>] [-f <filename> | <spaces>]
-b backup
-c backup current logical log
-C continuous logical log backup
-f pathname of file containing list of storage spaces
-F fake backup
-l backup full logical logs (no spaces)
-S skip backing up static dbspaces which are backed up already
-L backup level: 0, 1, or 2, defaults to 0
-O override internal error checks - enforce policy strictly
-p backup spaces only (no logs)
-q name to identify the backup session, default <DBSERVERNAME><pid>
-w whole system backup
-s salvage logs
-v verify consistency of most recent backups
<spaces>, <coservers> list of storage spaces, coserver logs to backupThe backup or verification command was entered incorrectly. Revise the command and try again. The -b or -v parameter must come first in the command.
ON–Bar restore usage.
For Dynamic Server -r [-e] [-O] [-f filename | spaces] -r [-e] [-t time | -n log] [-O] -r -p [-e] [-t time] [-O] [-f filename | spaces] -r -l [-t time | -n log] -r -w [-e] [[-p] [ -t time] | -n log] [-O] -RESTART -r -rename -f filename [-w] [-p] [-t time] [-n log] [-f filename | spaces] -r {-rename -p old path -o old offset -n new path -o new offset...} [-w] [-p] [-t time] [-n log] [-f filename | spaces]
For IBM Informix Extended Parallel Server:
-r [-e] [-I] [-q <name>] [-O] [-f <filename> | <spaces>]
-r [-e] [-i] [-I] [-q <name>] [-t time] [-O]
-r -p [-e] [-q <name>] [-t time] [-O] [-f <filename> | <spaces>]
-r -l [-I] [-q <name>] [-t <time>] [-f <filename> | <logstreams>]
-e external restore
-f pathname of file containing list of storage spaces
-i index rebuild only (do not restore spaces or logs)
-I do not rebuild indices following roll-forward
-l logical log only restore (no spaces)
-n last logical log to restore
-O override internal error checks - enforce policy strictly
-p physical only restore (no logs)
-q name to identify the restore session
-r restore
-t point in time to stop restore
-w whole system to restore
-RESTART restart an interrupted restore
<spaces> list of storage spaces
The restore command was entered incorrectly. Revise the command and try again. You must specify the -r parameter first.
ON–Bar session usage.
For Extended Parallel Server
{on | ON | off | OFF | -d} [-q] session_name
on/ON resume a suspended backup/restore session
off/OFF suspend a backup/restore session
-d destroy backup/restore session
-q name to identify the session
The session command was entered incorrectly. Revise the command and try again. The session name is required.
onbar_w usage.
For Extended Parallel Server [-b] [-d] [-l] [-r] [-p] -b accept backup requests -d accept db/blobspaces -l accept logical logs -r accept restore requests -p accept storage manager placement requests If no commands are entered, accept all requests by default.
The onbar_w command was entered incorrectly. Revise the command and try again.
onsmsync usage.
onsmsync [-g gen | -t time | -i interval] [-O] [-f filename | spaces] onsmsync -b -b just regenerate the emergency boot file -f pathname of file containing list of storage spaces -g number of generations/versions of level-0 backup to retain -i time interval (age) before which objects should be expired -t datetime before which objects should be expired -O override internal error checks - enforce policy strictly spaces list of storage spaces to check for expiration
The onsmsync command was entered incorrectly. Revise the command and try again.
ON-Bar messaging usage.
For IBM Informix Dynamic Server: -m [lines] [-r[seconds]] -m Displays last lines of onbar's activity log file (default: 20 lines) -r Repeat display every seconds seconds (default: 5 seconds)
Logical log display
For IBM Informix Dynamic Server:
{-P} {-n log unique identifier | starting log unique identifier - ending log
unique identifier} [-l] [-q] [-b] [-u username] [-t TBLspace number]
[-x transaction number]
-P Print backed up logical-log(s) information
-n Display the specified log identifier(s)
-l Display the maximum information about each log record
-q Do not display program header
-b Display information about logged BLOB pages
-u Display the specified user(s)
-t Display the specified TBLspace(s)
-x Display the specified transaction(s)
