You can use the OnLine syntax database@dbservername to specify the database.
Specifying a database server name allows you to choose a database on
another server as your current database if you have installed IBM Informix
STAR.
During the export, the database is locked in exclusive mode. If dbexport
cannot obtain an exclusive lock, the program ends with a diagnostic message.
If you specify -c, dbexport does not interrupt processing unless one of the
following fatal errors occurs:
■ Failure to open the tape device specified
■ Bad writes to the tape or disk
■ Invalid command parameters
■ Inability to open the database specified
■ Incorrect UNIX file or directory permissions
You can cancel dbexport at any time by pressing the Interrupt key. The
dbexport program asks for confirmation before terminating.
