SYMPTOMS
========

- Information store does not start and hangs after restoring a backup using
  Tivoli client v1.1.1.

- If HrBackupGetBackupLogs() is called before HrBackupClose(), the call
  succeeds. However, the result of the backup is a database that cannot be
  restored consistently.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior occurs because HrBackupGetBackupLogs() returns a list of log files
that must be backed up. That list is generated only once per backup session, and
the same list is returned from each subsequent call to HrBackupGetBackupLogs().
If HrBackupGetBackupLogs() is called before the database backup is complete, the
list of log files is incomplete.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this behavior, the HrBackupGetBackupLogs() must be called after you
call HrBackupClose() on the database.

To resolve this behavior with Tivoli client V1.1.1, upgrade to ver 1.1.1.01 of
the client.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.
