INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10

Using 12.10.FC4W1, when creating a new instance during 
installation, ROOTPATH and Chunks will be created using Long 
File Name (LFN) format by the installer. 
 
Problem first reproduced using 12.10.FC2X5 Win64 
 
Normal operations would work fine until DBA tries to restore an 
ontape Level 0 archive. 
 
When restoring, you would get the following error message at the 
prompt :

Continue restore? (y/n)y 
Do you want to back up the logs? (y/n)n 
Physical restore failed - ONCONFIG ROOTPATH: 'C:\Program 
Files\IBM Informix Software Bundle\storage\rootdbs' differs from 
archive: 'C:\Program' 
Correct ONCONFIG before restoring this archive. 
 
 
Program over. 
========================================================== 
 
At this point, modifying $ONCONFIG ROOTPATH to a short format 
would not help as the ROOTPATH value in the L0 Archive is the 
original LFN format. Rename restore would not work as it still 
compares the ROOTPATH value in Archive against $ONCONFIG 
ROOTPATH.

****************************************************************

Workaround is to modify ROOTPATH in $ONCONFIG to the short name 
format and take a new Level 0 Archive, and use the new Level 0 
Archive to restore 
From  : ROOTPATH  C:\Program Files\IBM Informix Software 
Bundle\storage\rootdbs 
To : ROOTPATH C:\PROGRA~1\IBMINF~1\storage\rootdbs
