Re: Saving of Journals and Journal Receivers.

Maybe you're just going about it all wrong.

The way we do it with iTera is we pause the apply on the backup, change
receivers and save the data there. Point in time. Release the apply and
let it catch up. No exposed entries, they still get sent to the backup
during the save.

When backing up "normal" libraries we quiesce the applications using those

has their own set of libraries.  However, due to the way we implemented 
our HA software (good, bad or indifferent) we put all of our journals and 
journal receivers into one library, #MXJRN.  Now, when I go to save that 
library I do not want to quiesce all divisions to back up that library. 
Would just doing a simple
SAVLIB LIB(#MXJRN) DEV(TAP##) SAVACT(*SYSDFN) SAVACTWAIT(5)
be sufficient?  Would that still skip any receivers in use?  I guess if I 
set it up to gen a new receiver just prior to the backup then it shouldn't 
be that big of a deal, eh?
