Hi,

Sometimes I face problem while starting automated backup of Informix using
Tivoli Storage Manager. I have AIX 4.3.3 with TSM 3.7.0 and TDP for Informix
version 1.0 and Informix is 7.24 UC3. The backup is scheduled at 00:05:00 in
TSM. Any idea why it is happening?
I also backup Informix control files followed by ON-Bar backup in the same
script which is scheduled thro' TSM.

There are no errors reported in Informix logfile. Any idea what could be the
reason ? How do I avoid this situation ? Attached is ON-Bar logfile for your
reference. The error is marked as bold red.
