Re: Save while active?

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is Al Barsa's speciality - he gives a talk on this at COMMON.

What is recommended is that you quiece you system long enough to 
get the checkpoint and then you can let people back on.  To 
understand quiece and checkpoint RTM.

I just slapped on a save-while-active on a library and some objects 
get skipped because they are in use.  There is a table in the manual 
that talks about what kind of locks are permissable.  In my case, a 
vendor written application with no source uses a data area in an RPG 
program with the default of lock.  That is not a permissable lock on 
a data area.  Thus it doesn't save the data area.

Subject:        Save while active?



Currently I am running a backup on a 730 with a 3590 using BRMS on V4R4.  The
benefits to a save while active are obvious. What are some of the draw backs?
Any hidden benefits to it? Any insight would be appreciated.
