4977.0. "RMU/BACK/AFTER/CONT/INTERVAL??" by M5::BLITTIN () Wed Jan 29 1997 09:58

    
    RMU/BACKUP/AFTER/CONT/INTERVAL/UNTIL....
    
    What is the action of the /INTERVAL qualifier?
    
    I understand (at least I think I do) that the /interval with the
    /cont allows a continuous backup operation, with the process
    waking up every /interval period and performing a backup of the
    aij.  When does the interval start/stop? Is it inclusive of the
    time that it takes to perform the actual backup, or does the clock
    start after?
    
    When the process is in the zone (interval) time period, is it checking 
    for the /until time?  Appears that it doesn't...only explanation that
    I can muster at this time.
    
    Reason:  Customer is/has been using this process for several years
    with no problems. After upgrading from 4. to 6.1 the process isn't
    stopping (so the ct says) when the /until time is hit...appears to 
    be finish up approximately /interval (40 min +/- 10) later.  Process 
    runs for 24 hrs and then starts over (new process), and the old process
    is still running.
    
    
    Thank You
    

    
    Tested this and observed that if the /interval spans the /until
    time, the process won't terminate until after the /interval period
    has expired.
    
    Did this change from 4. to 6.0 with the inception of circular aijs?

Yes.  I believe there were several QARs/SPRs complaining about the /INTERVAL
stopping early...
