ON-Bar script
The ON-Bar utility includes a shell script on UNIX™ and a batch script on Windows™ for customizing backup and restore operations.
When you install ON-Bar with
the database server, a default script is included. The name and location
of the script depends on the operating system:
- UNIX
- The onbar shell script is in the $INFORMIXDIR/bin directory.
- Windows
- The onbar.bat batch script is in the %INFORMIXDIR%\bin directory.
When you issue ON-Bar commands from the command line, the arguments are passed to the script, and then to the onbar_d utility.
| Utility | Description |
|---|---|
| onbar_d utility | Transfers data between the database server and the storage manager. The onbar command calls the onbar_d utility that starts the onbar-driver. The onbar-driver starts and controls backup and restore activities. |
| onsmsync utility | Synchronizes the contents of the sysutils database, the emergency boot files, and the storage manager catalogs. Use this utility to purge backups that are no longer needed. |
| ondblog utility | Changes the database-logging mode. The ondblog utility logs its output in the ON-Bar activity log, bar_act.log. |
| archecker utility | Verifies backups, and restores table-level data from an archive. |
