That is pretty much what I expected - that the users could not exit at all. But, the volume of transactions and file updates will be quite low, so that's probably what we will end up doing! THANK YOU all - good information!

Subject: Save while active was: Logon during night backup on tape
There are a few options to start save while active. You really need to RTM.
Using *LIB or *SYNCLIB will require the users exit for a brief time while you do the "checkpoint processing" (again RTM).
Using *SYSDFN will not. HOWEVER, if you use *SYSDFN and if your applications do something like write to a order header file and an order line and update the item warehouse file on the press of a single enter key it is possible that part of that transaction will be on the save (like the order header part) and the other part may not (like the order line and the item warehouse). What will happen is that your user department will insist on using *SYSDFN and that is what you will choose. We had our outage of the data library down to a few minutes and that still wasn't acceptable - insisted on no outage at all. Therefore it's not necessary that the backups be usable in a restore (sarcasm intended).

Due to a real-time Shop Floor Control 3-shift program we will have in
effect next year, I may have to change to a "save-while-active" option.
Are there any issues to be aware of with that?

Agreed. This will get rid of those ODBC connections, also.

Hi
How you prevent user to log on into system during night backup on tape?
If ending subsystem QIINTER (and starting after backup is finished) is
good solution? How do you make it on your system?
