Back up during operation

In critical system environments, i-effect may not be able to be shut down during the backup, as it must remain ready to receive data. How can i-effect still be backed up without errors occurring?

Label objects

So that new objects can be created while the backup is running, the directory attributes must be changed so that a simultaneous backup is possible.

CHGATR OBJ('/home/ieffect')      
       ATR(*ALWCKPWRT)           
       VALUE(*YES)               
       SUBTREE(*ALL)      

CHGATR OBJ('/i-effect')      
       ATR(*ALWCKPWRT)           
       VALUE(*YES)               
       SUBTREE(*ALL)                    

Start backup

The backup must be started with the option to save in the active state

SAV ... OBJ(('/i-effect')) SAVACT(*YES) SAVACTOPT(*ALWCKPWRT)

Important

As the backup takes place during operation, the scope of the backed up objects may not be complete.
