RE: Save while active questions

We are using BRMS and the control group does not allow me to see keywords so
I'm guessing at what you are asking. If I guessed wrong, let me know.

We have a backup that is using save while active. The backup starts

at

04:30 and there are about 500 libraries in the backup. About 05:00,

there is an entry in the joblog "Save-while-active checkpoint

processing in progress". About 5 minutes later there is an entry

Save-while-active checkpoint processing complete.

My question is during the 04:30 - 5:00 window, are the libraries

locked or can the system still function normally? Or, is the only

really unavailable window the 5 minutes at 5:00?
