Note
These options only apply to library file systems.
Use this dialog box to determine whether a user can update an object while the object is being saved.
*NO
Select this option when you do not want to save the objects that are in use.
*LIB
Select this option when you need to save the objects in a library while they are used by another job. All of the objects reach a checkpoint at the same time and are saved in a consistent state in relationship to each other.
*SYNCLIB
This option is only available when you have custom subclient content that contains libraries.
Select this option when you want to have all the objects and libraries that are part of the save operation reach a checkpoint together and be saved in a consistent state in relationship to each other.
When you select this option, the software makes the Backup library content(s) as objects check box unavailable.
Note: You cannot specify more than 32 libraries.
When you synchronize a backup, the software:
-
Starts the synchronization by using the "STRSAVSYNC" command
-
Sends messages that are related to synchronization to the message queue (when this is selected)
-
Runs a command after the synchronization completes (when this option is specified)
-
Saves the objects and libraries that are part of the save operation when they reach a checkpoint together in a consistent state
*SYSDFN
Select this option when you need to save the objects in a library while they are in use by another job. Objects in a library may reach checkpoints at different times and may not be in a consistent state in relationship to each other.
Save active wait time (seconds)
If you selected the *LIB option, or the *SYSDFN option, then this is the time that the backup operation wait for an object that is in use, or for transactions that have a pending change to reach a commit boundary before it continues the save operation.
Valid values: 0-99999
If you selected the *SYNCLIB option, this is the time that the backup operation waits for an object that is in use, or for transactions that have a pending change to reach a commit boundary before the backup operation continues the save operation.
Valid values: 0-99999
The default is 600 seconds.
Synchronization queue
This is an optional parameter. You can select this option to specify the message queue that the save operation uses to notify the user that the checkpoint process for a library is complete.
The format must be "<Library_Name>/Message_Queue>" (for example, QGPL/SYNCQ).
Command to be run when libraries are synchronized
This is an optional parameter. You can specify the command path that the software runs when the libraries that are in the subclient content reach the synchronized checkpoint, for example "/QSYS.LIB/QGPL.LIB/SYNC.CMD".
