We currently have a MONMSG CPF0000 after just about every command in our backup job taking the attitude someone is better than nothing and to be sure the system starts back up after the backup (we are lights out except for normal work hours of 7:00 am until 5:00 pm). The operator checks the backup every morning to be sure it was normal and if not we do an immediate journal detach and save to be sure we have something to restore from.
I had not considered omitting the log file objects. That might work.

You're going to need to make a decision on the IFS. Either you:
A - add some omits for the worrisome objects
B - slap a MONMSG on it and ignore these messages in your joblog
C - End the offending locks.
D - forget the MONMSG and let the backup blow up.
Some people use B with the idea that they can then make a conscientious
decision when messages occur whether to pursue A or C. Like if some new
application comes along that starts locking stuff.
Using option D forces you to make a more rapid decision for A or C.
However, it tends to honk off the BOFH.
Ending stuff may involve

save-while-active on IFS SAV does not save all files
We just switch our backup process to use the save-while-active options on
both the SAVLIB and SAV commands we are running. The SAVLIB is backing up
all files but the IFS SAV backup is not able to save 57 files. Just about
all of these files are log files for various services (HTTP, WAS, etc). We
have tried all the combinations of the two save-while-active parameters
and get the same results. We are shutting down subsystems, then saving a
few key libraries without save-while-active, then staring subsystems
backup, then saving the rest of the libraries with save-while-active and
saving the IFS with save-while-active. Is there a way to get the entire
IFS to save on the SAV command?
