Re: Save while active?

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

Perhaps that term is an Al Barsa term.  V4R1 of the 
'OS/400 Backup and Recovery' guide explains it this 
way around page 9-2.

'The easiest and recommended way to use the save-while-active 
function is to reduce your save outage by ending your 
applications that change objects until after the checkpoint 
images have been obtained.'

and again as

'Reduce Save Outage:  If the requirement is to just reduce 
your outage for particular save operations, you can end the 
applications that make changes to the objects being saved 
until the system has established a checkpoint for each of 
those objects.  Then, no additional recovery procedures are 
necessary when restoring the objects from the save-while-active 
media.  Therefore, the recommended method for performing a 
save-while-active request is to end the applications and 
then to start the applications again after the checkpoint 
processing for all application-dependent objects has completed.  
Examples of application-dependent objects are data areas and 
physical files used by applications.'
