RE: Save while active (SWA) question

Why do anything interactive?  The monitor job is just there to look for the
checkpoint message and to get things restarted once it has been achieved.
Also you aren't in a truly restricted state when doing this since you need
to have one job running to do the save and another one running to do the
monitoring.  The main thing you need is to have things shut down enough
that there will be no object locks that would interfere with achieving a
checkpoint.

Not that I'm doubting you, but why would I want to use option 1 (SAVxxx
interactive, monitor in batch) as opposed to option 2 (monitor interactive,
SAVxxx in batch)?  Am I not thinking of something obvious?

Thanks.
