I have never had any luck trying to use SAVACT. Always seems to lock something up or cause programs to crash. Will SAVACT(*sysdfn) solve this?

subject: RE: Quiescing the system prior to Save While Active?
If it doesn't matter if all the files are at a known point, then
quiescing the system isn't necessary-- a SAVLIB SAVACT(*SYSDFN) saves
"Objects in a library... while they are in use by another job. Objects
in a library may reach checkpoints at different times and may not be in
a consistent state in relationship to each other." All objects are
saved, but you may end up with half an order in the order file-- header
records without detail records, for example.
Otherwise, you'll have to examine your system activity and determine
when a 'quiet time' for your application occurs. You can tell all
interactive users to get off the system, and not run any batch jobs
against the library(ies) used by your application, and then do your
save.
If you have PC or Web users, then you need to explore HTTP and WebSphere
and other such applications.
Ending TCP is not a good idea these days-- your system console is most
likely running via TCP (or do you still have Twinax consoles), and
ending TCP may lock yourself out of the system!
