Re: Save While Active problem

Hi Mark,

I don't know if this helps but we discovered that the file with pending
changes need not be one of the files being saved.

It seems that the OS/400 save object commands, when using save-while-active,
can be held up by any file that is locked by a commitment control cycle, when
that file is using the same journal as the objects being saved.  The pending
commitment control cycle does not have to directly involve one of the objects
being saved.
