RE: Backing up and not taking TCP/IP down

[Gary Lehman <Gary_Lehman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To tell you the truth we're not specifying the library QIWS on our SAVLIB
command.  We're specifying certain libraries to backup.  We are doing a
ENDSBS on the subsystem QSYSWRK and that's where the TCP/IP jobs are.  I'm
not really sure why QSYSWRK is ended, but that's the way the job was set up
by the previous programmer.  So is it true I need to keep QSYSWRK up in
order to keep TCP/IP active?

                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.
