RE: To Mapics backup or not to Mapics backup?

I just started some automatic procedures to shut our system down and then do an 
unattended backup (Using the job scheduler).  Try putting something like this 
in a CL program. It uses a QUSRTOOL's which you need.  Use this at your own 
risk. I have tested it a few times and just started using it.  It "reads" the 
WRKACTJOB and cancels all users in QINTER.  You could also modify it to 
probably determine only those "in" MAPICS.

Pardon my ignorance. May I know, how one could use the "PRE" Backup Command
to check and cancel the active job which has a lock on the MAPICS library?
