RE: Save before the Upgrade

Mike,

I suppose the answer to that is yes.  But the bigger issue is that with
Notify = 'Y', the system will sit there and wait for an answer.  Not
particularly a good idea if nobody is there to answer it and you are
depending on the system to come back up automatically.

Here's the help text:
    Note:  Communication messages with a severity of 99 
    that require a reply can interrupt backup or restore
    operations.  To avoid this interruption, or for     
    unattended backup or restore operations, specify    
    *NOTIFY on the message queue delivery parameter.    


So if you're running unattended, you'll need to make sure there weren't any
problems and the backup was good.

Charles
