[Firebird-devel] IBBackup Service and IBX

[Lou Feliz]

Hello,

I have an app that uses the TIBBackupServcie component. When I set the
option to IgnoreLimbo transactions, the service does not backup the
database. I have reproduced it with IBConsole as well. It works fine
with Interbase 6.x.x.x, so I am thinking that it may be a Firebird
problem. Nonetheless, I will just not use that option when I run a
backup that way. I will just stick to using GBAK when I need to set
specific optins.

Well,

I have done a bit more testing and I did get the IBX Backup Service
component to work with RC1, but only after not using the Ignore Limbo
Transactions option. I basically just told it to backup in Transportable
mode. The code works fine with the OE if IB 6.0.1.6 that I got from
mers.com and with FB 0.9.4-1 which I am currently still running on a
production machine. I am developing using D5 and IBX on Win98 and
Win2000. My servers all run on Win NT 4.

I am not sure if this is problem in the client or services API. I do
not know exatcly where to look, but I would like to enable that option.
I rely on the service components to solve problems - have user do a
backup and a e-mail me the backup file without using GBAK.

I am not sure if this is a bug, but it sure looks that way to me.

v0.94 is way to old, have you tested RC1 with the same options? Maybe the
component is fooled by the version returned by previous FB builds.

Claudio,

When I test against RC1, I cannot use the option (Ignore Limbo
Transactions) as I did with 0.9.4 and IB Open edition. Otherwise, it
does work against RC1, just not consistenlty as with IB Open Edition.
Perhaps there is additional version checking going on in IBX. I have
decided for the time being to just not use the additional options with
the backup service component within my app and rely oh GBAK for special
situations.
