Recommended procedure for reducing your save-outage time
Use this general procedure to reduce your outage for particular save operations.
This procedure is the recommended way to use the save-while-active function on a daily basis. This save-while-active operations saves the objects as if they were saved in a dedicated fashion. This procedure does not require any special recovery procedures.
- End all application jobs that are making updates to the application-dependent objects.
- Start the save-while-active operation for the objects that reside in the application libraries. Specify a message queue on which to receive the checkpoint completion message.
- Wait for the checkpoint completion or termination message identified in SAVACTMSGQ checkpoint completion messages at the message queue you specified on the SAVACTMSGQ parameter.
- Start the application jobs again.
- For journaled objects in the save request, if you did not save their receivers in the request, save those receivers after the save request finishes.
