Hi Vinay,

I would recommend a synced online backup, as this gives you a lot more options a case of desaster and for building a homogenious systemcopy based on the backup.

=> try to use the following:

SAVACTWAIT(120 *LOCKWAIT)

only if REALLY necessary, use the followinig:

SAVACTWAIT(120 *NOCMTBDY)

(... and I only know about 10 customers worldwide, that need that ...)

Hi Vinay,

Please have a look at SAP Note 825473. There you can find a good explanation of the parameters.

Kind regards,

Hi,

In IBM AS400 server backups you cannot seen through SAP GUI ( ie DB12 or DB13).

Your need to scheduled the Online backup through Jobs..

Create one job SAVLIB command(you need to change some parameters pls check IBM Information centre) and add it in to the ADDJOBSCDE...

You can't do any backup from SAP only through OS level.

Thanks
