A couple of days ago I asked for help deleting informix logs backed up with onbar. Several people suggested that I download the expire program by Christoph Martin. I got the source, and it compiled cleanly, but I'm not having any luck running it. Can someone familiar with the API give me a pointer? I'm trying to RTFM, but I'm running out of scratch tapes and getting desparate. -- quote -- adsm> show version f1n5e_db /* /infprd18 : /infprd18/18/ 100000 (MC: DBLOGS_MC) Active, Inserted 06/29/00 07:12:26 /infprd18 : /infprd18/18/ 100001 (MC: DBLOGS_MC) Active, Inserted 06/29/00 07:22:04 adsm> quit f1n9e:/usr/lpp/adsm/api/bin# ./expire_logs f1n5e_db /infprd18/18/100001 argc:3, argv[1]:f1n5e_db, argv[2]:/infprd18/18/100001: API Library Version = 3.1.0 Application Version = 3.1.0 *** BSAMarkObjectInactive failed: (96) ADSM error.
