Re: Save while active questions

Do you see
CPI3724 - 0 of 3 libraries processed.
CPI3724 - 1 of 3 libraries processed.
CPI3724 - 2 of 3 libraries processed.
CPI3725 - Save-while-active checkpoint processing in progress.
CPI3712 - Save-while-active checkpoint processing complete.


The text for CPI3724 is
Cause . . . . . : The save-while-active operation has now locked the
objects
in 1 libraries. Checkpoint processing will begin when objects in all 3

libraries have been locked.


vs CPI3725
Cause . . . . . : The save-while-active operation has now locked the
objects
to be saved in all the libraries.


So for the first 30min, the system is allocating all objects in a given
library one library at a time. Are you getting any objects not saved?

500 libraries is an awful lot for a *SYNCLIB save-while-active.

Are all 500 really active?

You might be better served by creating a SWA control group for the say 5
libraries that are active and the save the others without using SWA.

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?
