WINDOWS: ONTAPE UNABLE TO RESTORE IF ONCONFIG ROOTPATH HAS SPACES WHEN TAKING L0 BACKUP |
| product: |
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10 |
| Problem description: |
Using 12.10.FC4W1, when creating a new instance during
installation, ROOTPATH and Chunks will be created using Long
File Name (LFN) format by the installer.
Problem first reproduced using 12.10.FC2X5 Win64
Normal operations would work fine until DBA tries to restore an
ontape Level 0 archive.
When restoring, you would get the following error message at the
prompt :

Continue restore? (y/n)y
Do you want to back up the logs? (y/n)n
Physical restore failed - ONCONFIG ROOTPATH: 'C:\Program
Files\IBM Informix Software Bundle\storage\rootdbs' differs from
archive: 'C:\Program'
Correct ONCONFIG before restoring this archive.
Program over.
==========================================================
At this point, modifying $ONCONFIG ROOTPATH to a short format
would not help as the ROOTPATH value in the L0 Archive is the
original LFN format. Rename restore would not work as it still
compares the ROOTPATH value in Archive against $ONCONFIG
ROOTPATH. |

Workaround is to modify ROOTPATH in $ONCONFIG to the short name
format and take a new Level 0 Archive, and use the new Level 0
Archive to restore
From : ROOTPATH C:\Program Files\IBM Informix Software
Bundle\storage\rootdbs
To : ROOTPATH C:\PROGRA~1\IBMINF~1\storage\rootdbs |
