RE: Backing up and not taking TCP/IP down

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you mean when you do a complete backup (GO SAVE #21 or equivalent)
then the answer is no.  In a restricted state you can't have TCP/IP
active.

If you mean in your regular backup program you are ending TCP/IP, then
the question would be why do you do that ?

If you do a SAVLIB *IBM in your nightly backup and want to get
everything saved you must ENDHOSTSVR before saving library QIWS (I run
ENDHOSTSVR *ALL - then SAVLIB QIWS separately, then STRHOSTSVR *ALL,
then OMIT QIWS when I SAVLIB *IBM) to free locks on the following 7
programs:
QNPSERVD, QZDASRVSD, QZHQSRVD, QZRCSRVSD, QZSCSRVSD, QZSOSGND,
QZSOSMAPD.         

Note - doing ENDHOSTSVR *ALL will not kill any active TN5250 sessions to
the 400 etc., but it will prevent new sessions from being able to
connect for the approx 10 minutes when they are down.
