RE: SWA help

When you are doing a Quarterly backup in restricted state, you should 
NOT use SWA.

SWA is for doing your nightlys while people might/probably are using 
your files.

We are starting to toy with SaveWhileActive and today's test failed
miserably. This was a test of a FULL SYSTEM save which we do each 
Quarter.
Here's how it went on our S20  Development CPU running 4.1  with .75gb 
mem
with 55% of 100gb used. Doing a dspobjd on allobjsl yields approx 
180,000
objs.

08:15   Signon at Console
        endsbs *all
08:41   savsys
09:13   savlib *IBM  swa(*LIB)
09:35   savlib *ALLUSR SWA(*SYNCLIB)
12:40   CPI3715 Save-while-active checkpoint processing in progress.
14:20   Still waiting for CPI3712...

Now If I had just did our normal backups I would be completely done by 
now.
Now in all fairness doing a few libs works great.

HEY AL!   Am I doing something wrong???
