Error description

  • An onbar restore might either fail with an onbar core dump
    (Signal 11) or continue with "(-43052) Error parsing bootfile
    <path_to_ixbar>." if the ixbar file (on Unix/Linux) contains DOS
    type newline characters at the end of each line, so in essence
    if it has been edited on Windows and not converted back to Unix
    format.
    
    The core dump case, in bar_act.log would look like this:
    
     2013-07-08 11:44:27 23248  23246 /sqldists/1170FC6/bin/onbar_d
