4-52 IBM Informix OnLine Database Server Administrator’s Guide
OnLine Is Quiescent
Mount the correct tape on LTAPEDEV. Verify that the tape drive is online and
press RETURN.
If you do not mount the correct tape, tbtape notifies you of the error and
prompts again for the correct tape.
The tbinit process rolls forward the records contained in the logical log
backup tapes.
The tbtape process prompts for new tapes as needed until all the log files are
processed.
OnLine Is Quiescent
After the rollforward is complete, tbinit returns controls at the DB-Monitor
Archive menu or tbtape exits gracefully and returns the system prompt.
OnLine is now in quiescent mode.
Database and Table Migration
The following situations might require you to move a database or selected
data:
■ A move from a development environment to a production
environment
■ A move to a different hardware platform
■ A need to distribute an application to users

■ A need to switch to a different database server
