Re: Saving Libraries While Active, SAVACT parm value

What release are you running, how fast is your disk IOA, how busy are your
disks and how many (betcha they're 100% busy during quiecenesence).  On a
reasonably fast system, if you are not bound by disk, it should take one
tenth of a second per internal object to achieve quiecensce.  In V5R1 this
theoretically drops by 91%.

If you would like a copy of my SWA pitch that I do at COMMON, please send
private mail.

I need to save a large (~175) number of large libraries for three
interconnected applications.  Downtime is limited, but I can get a couple
of
hours.  This means I need to do a save while active, getting a sync point
while the apps are quiesced and then letting the users back in while the
save to tape completes.  Trying this with the parameter value
SAVACT(*SYNCLIB) took a prohibitively long time.

Since the applications are quiesced will SAVACT(*SYSDEFN) set the same sync
point set for all libraries and get them all saved as of the same point in
time?
