Yes the command distinguishes between an interactive and a batch job in 
that subsystem.

Re: Save-while-active questions / concerns







Would the issue of "current environment" be because you are trying to do 
it
from a workstation in QINTER instead of the console in QCTL?  If you 
submit
a job to QCTL wouldn't that environment be acceptable?  Does the command
distinguish between an interactive and a batch job in that subsystem?

I think that step 1 will never execute.  I prompted ENDSBS, went to the
top and hit F1, scrolled down to the list of monitorable messages and...
CPF1052     ENDSBS *ALL not allowed in current environment.
Cause . . . . . :   ENDSBS *ALL is allowed only from an interactive job
that
  is started from a *SIGNON workstation entry in the controlling
subsystem.
  ENDSBS *ALL is not allowed from a target pass-through job.

Re: Save-while-active questions / concerns







Thanks to everybody who replied.  I think I've got a better handle on the
concepts that I was missing.  Al makes a good case for the TAA Tool
SAVxxxACT commands which handles a lot of the details.  I may still
implement it with SAVLIB but we'll see.

The steps (as I understand them) are:
1.  Submit a job to QCTL to do a ENDSBS *ALL *IMMED.
2.  When a restricted state has been achieved start another subsystem.
3.  Starting that subsystem will also start the QSYSWRK subsystem so do a
ENDSBS QSYSWRK *IMMED
4.  Submit a job to the newly activated subsystem to monitor a message
queue for the message that the checkpoint has been established.
5.  Issue the SAVLIB command from the QCTL job with SAVACT(*SYNCLIB)
PRECHK
(*YES) SAVACTWAIT(0) and a SAVACTMSGQ specified.
6.  When the job in the new job queue gets the checkpoint message then run
the job specified by the QSTRUPPGM to make the system available for use.

Feel free to correct me if I missed something or got something wrong.
Thanks again everybody.
