Editing tape hardware for Windows for Informix
This applies to the Informix database.
I downloaded Informix Developer Edition to my computer.
I imported a database from one of my other servers into my local database (worked great). I also created DBspace.
I need to enable the transaction log for my database, but I don't know what " Please mount tape \\.TAPE01
" means . If I hit 'enter', it gives the error " Archive failed - function open tape device \\.\TAPE0 failed code -1 errno -1
"
Can anyone help me on this please?

How are your TAPEDEV
, and LTAPEDEV
are set to [INFORMIXDIR]\etc\onconfig.[DBSERVER]
?
If you don't need to make a backup, you can install them on NUL
:
TAPEDEV NUL
LTAPEDEV NUL
otherwise you can create a directory for example d:\ifmxback\
and set for them:
TAPEDEV d:\ifmxback\TAPE0 # Tape device path
LTAPEDEV d:\ifmxback\TAPE1 # Log tape device path
