Title: RE: Save-while-active of QUSRSYS versus Management Central

It will bypass those files if you specify SAVACT(*SYSDFN) SAVACTWAIT(30) in the SAVCHGOBJ command. Although I will admit that we are NOT backing up QUSRSYS but rather just the libs that have changes, we QUSRSYS monthly in a restricted state.

Thanks! I had this problem occur on a client system and used this command
to bypass their problem. Another client runs a long running commitment
control application that prevents the SWA from completing normally. Our
tape management software does allow us to resume the backup, but not until
after this application completes.

IF IBM IS LISTENING!

WOULDN'T ONE THINK THAT IBM WOULD JUST BYPASS THE FILES IT CAN'T SAVE AND
CONTINUE ON WITH THE PROCESS????

It makes sense to me!

Thought I'd forward this on to you. Had to modify backup program on GDWEB:
------------- 9 data records excluded --------------------------------
/* 02/14/01 by R.Berendt, CDP   GDS,LLC                             */
/*          We were getting message CPF377F while doing a           */
/*          save-while-active of QUSRSYS. Job causing problems was */
/*          QYPSSRV - Management Central. Opened pmr 67809,500     */
/*          with IBM. IBM recognized this problem and recommended */
/*          that we stop/start the tcp server for management        */
/*          central.                                                */
------------ 94 data records excluded --------------------------------

/*
| Stop tcp server for management central to avoid message CPF377F
| while doing save-while-active of QUSRSYS.
*/
ENDTCPSVR *MGTC
------------- 8 data records excluded --------------------------------

/*
| Start tcp server for management central after doing
| save-while-active of QUSRSYS.
*/
STRTCPSVR *MGTC
------------ 47 data records excluded ------------------

I am not a big fan of throwing in MONMSG's everywhere. I am seeing too
much code with them and frankly I doubt the integrity of the data on some
of our backups and production programs due to this.
