Alan,

Have them exclude that directory from the backup. It's transient data that can be recovered without the tape anyway so it's not needed for a recovery. Now you can just forget about all the locking etc.

Have Tom call me if he needs help doing that.

Hi everyone
Before I forget (which is not unusual for me) we are on V5r4

We have been testing a process of placing files in a directory on the ifs, and processing these files from this directory.
The night before last, we started this process to run overnight, but have since discovered that not all the files that were transmitted to this directory made it there, even though there was no error captured at the origination.
My investigation shows that a backup was running at that time, and I was wondering if the backup locked the directory in the ifs.
The question is - is there a way that I can lock that same directory without running the backup?
As always, all responses gratefully accepted.
