Re: List of objects not saved with SWA while locked.

We do shut down the apply jobs.
The objects locked are not in our "data" libraries but are in the HA's
data library.

Hi Rob

why would you not shut down the HA apply jobs while you do your save or at
least while you get a sync point for your SWA ?

and asked them what I am doing wrong.

Objects are locked by their software while following their

recommendations

for saving a target HA system.

I also asked them if it was an issue if the objects only get backed up
once a quarter during our restricted state save.

Rob,

I'm not aware of a list such as that because of IBM's favorite answer:

"It

depends......" and in this case it truly does.

You picked on two of the biggest object types in your note, but data

areas

would qualify as well on that list. Many folks love to read the data

area

into RPG with a lock, update it and release. If the save catches it
during
the lock, it will not back up the data area object.

UDFS falls into the "maybe" category. Again depends on the status at

the

time.

There are a number of other objects in the IFS that will not back up

when

open as well. That list is entirely depended on the system and what's
running.

Then again, you already know all of that.

Is there a list of objects which are normally skipped by Save While

Active

if they are still locked? *USRIDX and *USRQ objects seem to be an

issue.

Is there some IBM documentation somewhere on this?
