3.15
A project based only on RDB does not have any value archives.
The automatic online backup feature seems to create the /db folder in the backup, but the rest of the folders do not get created.
We have unchecked the "Backup all not archived HDB datasets.
If we use the Backup Panel and click the Start backup on each of the DB and Parameterization panels, we get all the files.

Re: project backup with RDB
I spent a day trying to understand why the backup won't work. I see that the archiv_client.ctl where most of the logic is found is very different starting in 3.16. I even tried the latest version of 3.15 of that file to see if some patch got in there.
I never got it to work with the autoBackup trigger (timedFunc).
So, I have grabbed the code from the backup panel button and copied it into my own timedFunc triggered off the same timer +3 minutes. It works, but it is not a good solution when the product should provide this functionality.

Re: project backup with RDB
Hello Todd,
I can´t reproduce this problem. I did the test with Patch P024
Which 3.15 Patch are you using?
You wrote: " I even tried the latest version of 3.15 of that file to see if some patch got in there ": have you installed the complete version or used only the archiv_client.ctl from the latest version?
following issues have been solved in 3.15:
24845: Online backup does not work when the PATH environment variable
does not include the directory <installation>/bin.
P010 : 34183: Calculation of next execution time for the online backup is not
correct if timezone is not UTC+1.
Maybe try to install the latest patch completely and then try again .
Please note also the following: If you activate the automatic backup, make sure that you restart the script "archiv_client.ctl". Otherwise, your backup is not executed correctly. You have to restart the script also if you deactivate and again activate the automatic backup since the timedFunc() was stopped and has to be restarted.
BR,
Mousser.

Re: project backup with RDB
This is an RDB project only. All of the HDB files and configuration have been removed. Could the archiv_client.ctl be looking for parts of the HDB and stop at just the DB folder?
the archiv_client.ctl triggers something that the Database Manager does for the backup. I am guessing that it closes the files so the copy can be done cleanly. What I worry about is that with an Oracle/RDB only project, it finds missing files and quits at just the DB folders. We never get the rest of the files.
Has anyone see this?

Re: project backup with RDB
I may be completely wrong here but isn't that the normal behaviour?
In the online backup panel there are multiple tab pages:
"DB":
Can be used to issue a manual DB backup.
Basically a copy of the db folder.
"Parameterization":
Can be used to issue a manual parameterization backup.
A copy of all? other folders. Also an ASCII export is performed.
"Configuration":
Among other things an automatic DB backup can be configured here. Not an automatic parameterization backup!
So there is nothing wrong with your project, but the feature you want does not exist.
