Hello - Just had a customer express concern about ARCHIVE aborting if there was an active CONNECT session during the operation. He's putting together a batch job to run daily, but still feels there is a good chance that a good chunk of data he thought was archived will not be. The request was for a switch similar to /IGNORE=INTERLOCK for the backup utility where data will be archived, but we know that a portion will not be saved. Is there a chance that this is feasible? Regards, Connie

Connie, >>Just had a customer express concern about ARCHIVE aborting if there was an >>active CONNECT session during the operation. He's putting together a batch >>job to run daily, but still feels there is a good chance that a good chunk >>of data he thought was archived will not be. Why doesnt your customer execute a dialog which simply unlocks the console before they start their archive! >>The request was for a switch similar to /IGNORE=INTERLOCK for the backup >>utility where data will be archived, but we know that a portion will not be >>saved. Is there a chance that this is feasible? Hmm, we could, but I dont like the idea of the integrity of the data being compromised, it could lead to all sorts of problems elsewhere, I'll stick this on our wish list, but dont hold your breath. Something which would be easier to implement would be a /UNLOCK switch to the archive command, this would unlocked the console (if the user had unlock privilege of course). Cheers, Phil | |||||

Phil - Thanks for the workaround. I'll pass along the suggestion to UNLOCK the consoles before doing the ARCHIVE. Connie |
