onbar - logical restore question

[dastx]

I was wondering if it’s possible to use onbar to perform a logical restore to:

For example, I want to copy the Informix database to a new server and keep the down time to a minimum. The plan would be to restore the backup and apply the logical log files daily to the new server until cut over. This would require issuing multiple onbar commands to keep the database up to sync.

I am more familiar with Oracle (as long as you don’t open the database) this scenario would work but the Informix dba says this just want work on Informix because you can only issue the onbar command once.

Has anyone every tried this?

Thanks,
