Re: Save While Active Question

["Roger Harman" <RHarman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I was OK with the "very slow time" part but you lost me with the
"reasonably fast processors" - a 720/2061 isn't exactly a rocket ship. 
;-((

But, yes... it's at a very slow time.  I'd be concerned too about doing
it under heavy load.  We just have to ensure we get a backup if someone
is logged in.

The problem with *SYSDFN is that there is no clean/common checkpoint. 
Quoting the help text "Objects in a library may reach checkpoints at
different times and may not be in a consistent state in relationship to
each other."  *LIB or *SYNCLIB have a cleaner checkpoint/consistency.

I am thinking that in many cases where the saves are done at a very slow

time with reasonably fast processors and devices that the
SAVACT(*SYSDFN) 
will get lucky most of the time.  It's only payroll and erp and stuff.
Not 
like it's really noticeable like company email and stuff.
