Use

You can use SAPDBA for Informix to create a report that provides essential information if you need to recover your database after a failure with data loss. Recovery means restoring database data that you have previously stored in archives and backups. With the recovery report, you can more quickly and easily restore your database.

You must create the report before the restore is necessary, that is, during normal database operation. You can only use this procedure with ON-Archive , as the recovery reports are not available for ON-Bar or ontape .

Note

You only see the option Create Recovery Report if you are using SAPDBA for Informix version 6.0. With later versions of Informix, the recovery report is automatically created once you have correctly installed it.

For more information if you are using an Informix version later than 6.0, see Recovery Report with SAPDBA. This topic also contains information about the contents of the report, whichever Informix version you are using.

Integration

Creation of the recovery report for Informix 6.0 is fully integrated in SAPDBA. You can use this functionality for databases running on UNIX and NT operating system platforms.
