  An option is to modify the work being done [the CL commands issued to 
effectively Save Entire System] to remove the requirement for the 
restricted state; e.g. SAVCFG and SAVSECDTA instead of SAVSYS, while 
understanding recovery implications.  Another option is to use the 
BchTimLmt support of the ENDSBS command to run features that require 
restricted state.  In either case, refer to articles\examples to better 
understand how to implement, along with the caveats and\or additional 
requirements.

"...
Batch time limit (BCHTIMLMT)

Specifies the amount of time (in minutes) that the system will run in 
batch restricted state. This parameter is only valid when ending all 
subsystems from a batch job running in the controlling subsystem. Under 
this condition, a parameter value must be specified. When this parameter 
is specified, the system will be ended to the restricted state, with 
only the batch job running the ENDSBS command remaining active. While 
the system is in this restricted state, system reference code A900 3C70 
is displayed. ...
