4460.1Another case...M5::BLITTINThu Mar 13 1997 10:277
    
    Another customer reported the same informational message...
    DBMS 6.1-11.
    
    Does anyone know what causes this? And can they just ignore it?
    
    Thank You

>    Does anyone know what causes this? 

Sure!

This message means that the database was "opened" by a utility process
(typically RMU/BACKUP, RMU/BACKUP/AFTER or RMU/SHOW STATS - normally an RMU/XXX
utility).  

If the database open mode is MANUAL, the database MUST still be opened using the
RMU/OPEN command, since the database is not *really* open.  Note that in the
example in .0 the database open mode is probably AUTOMATIC so the 2 identified
users simply attached to an already-open database & kept it open after the
utility process terminated.

>And can they just ignore it?

This is just an informational message - ignore it or not...
