Agent Parameters

You can customize the agent by modifying settings in the Windows registry, using the Windows REGEDT32 utility. Agent settings are listed in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE window under the following key:

SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\CA ARCserve Backup\DSAgent\Current Version\agent\dbaifmx@ServerName

If the agent operates on a 64-bit system, then the following key can be used:

SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ComputerAssociates\CA ARCserve Backup\DSAgent\Current Version\agent\dbaifmx@ServerName

In this example, ServerName identifies the IDS instance name

The following optional settings are provided for the agent under the dbaifmx key:

CriticalFileBackupDelay

Specifies the current delay, in minutes, to back up critical IDS files located in the Informix\etc directory.

dll

Specifies the location of the agent files.

debug

Enables debug trace files for the agent. The default value is 0 (FALSE). You should enable this setting (change the default) only when requested to do so by Arcserve Customer Support.

Note: The agent includes Activity Logs that provide information about backup or restore jobs and their status. These logs are located in the agent home directory, and are named dbaifmx.log, dbabatch.log, and xbsa.log. The home directory may also contain files called trace logs, which are created and updated only when debug is enabled. These logs are called dbaifmx.trc, dbabatch.trc, xbsa.trc, and IFMXwrapper.log. If required during a debug session, you may be asked to check these Job Logs to help determine the cause of the problem.
