JDBC driver shouldn't require SSLCONNECTION to be set when SQLHOSTS is used

CM should allow LOG to be set at the SLA-level

We have a Connection Manager configuration that includes multiple SLAs. There are times when it would be incredibly useful to enable logging for just one SLA while leaving it disabled for all of the others. Currently, the only option is to spawn a...

CM should report client IP and SLA when errors occur

Improve L1 backup usability

We would like to use incremental backups with 'onbar'. However this is difficult because we use storagepools and chunks can be added at any time. Once a chunk has been added this forces a L0 backup of at least the dbspace concerned and the root db...

Supply DBD-Informix Driver for PERL DBI on Linux

I was doing DB development in an Ubuntu/Linux enviornment using PERL. PERL has a database abstraction layer called DBI. Supports preparing queries to both MySQL and Informix with no changes. It does rely on a lower layer DB interface driver, for I...

Informix incremental backups (L1)

Hi, L0 and L1 backups of informix are taking almost same time since it seems that is limited by disk reading performance: we are using IBM spectrum backup to backup. From IFX logs we see that they are using /usr/informix/server12/bin/onbar_d...
