Hi
I post this topic because regularly I will need to give the data of one of my database to other institutions.
I have one informix instance IDS 11.5, WorkGroup Edition (not cluster).
My Os is AIX.
constraints :
- The institutions OS can be Linux, Unix or Windows : So I can't use onbar or ontape, because the AIX backup is not compatible with linux environment or Windows environment
- I can't stop my environment : It is impossible to be in exclusive mode on the database : So I can't use dbexport command...
I think the better solution is to have an other instance on my environment, restore the backup of my production environment and execute the dbexport on the database.
My questions is :
- there is no way to execute a dbexport without exclusive connexion ?
- Maybe can you suggest an other solution to transfer my database ?
- Maybe there is a tool or procedure to create a multiplateform backup or an export depending of my constraints?
thank you for your help
