Hello everybody,

My environment is the following:        TSM Server 3.7.0 on NT
                                ADSM client 3.1.0.8 on HP-UX
                                Informix 9.21 FC 5.1 running on the HP-UX box

I've got the following issue with the integration ADSM / TSM / Informix.I've
followed the steps decribed in the redbook "Using ADSM to backup databases"
and then tried to  take a full backup of my database. In the bar_act.log, I
get the following output:

 2001-06-20 11:14:56 2755  2750

/usr/informix/openspec/ix_release/bin/onbar_d complete, returning 131 (0x83)

The library libXApi.sl can't be opened. After some research I've found the
following. The ADSM client, Informix and the operating system are all 64
bits, however the API and hence the library is 32 bits. This explains the
communication error.

I've asked IBM to provide me the 64bits library of libXApi.sl, but all they
can say is 'You should use the TDP for Informix' and they don't seem to know
if a 64bits library exists?

Is anybody taking a backup of a 64bits version of Informix via onbar? Where
can I find the 64 bits version of the library libXApi.sl ?

Any input would be greatly appreciated,
