<h1 class="topictitle1">Complex save strategy</h1>
<div><p>You have a short save window, which means that there is little
or no time when your system is not being used for interactive or batch work.
A very short save window requires a complex strategy for saving and for recovery.</p>
<p>You use the same tools and techniques that are described for a medium save
strategy, but at a greater level of detail. For example, you might need to
save specific critical files at specific times of the day or week. You might
also want to consider using a tool, such as IBM<sup>®</sup> Backup Recovery and Media Services for iSeries™ (BRMS).</p>
<div class="p">Saving your system while it is active is often necessary in a complex save
strategy. The save active (SAVACT) parameter is supported on these commands:
<ul><li>Save Library (SAVLIB)</li>
<li>Save Object (SAVOBJ)</li>
<li>Save Changed Objects (SAVCHGOBJ)</li>
<li>Save Document Library Object (SAVDLO)</li>
<li>Save (SAV)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>If you use save-while-active support, you can significantly reduce the
amount of time that files are made unavailable. When the system has established
a checkpoint for all objects being saved, the objects can be made available
for use. Save-while-active support can be used in combination with journaling
and commitment control to simplify the recovery procedure. If you use the
*LIB or *SYNCLIB values with the SAVACT parameter, you should use journaling
to simplify recovery. If you use the *SYSDFN value with the SAVACT parameter,
you must use commitment control if the library you are saving has related
database objects. If you choose to use save-while-active support, make sure
that you understand the process and monitor how well checkpoints are being
established on your system.</p>
<p>You can also reduce the amount of time that files are unavailable by performing
save operations on more than one device at a time, or by performing <em>concurrent
save operations</em>. For example, you can save libraries to one device, folders
to another device, and directories to third device. Or, you can save different
sets of libraries or objects to different devices.</p>
<p>You can also use multiple devices simultaneously by performing a <em>parallel
save operation</em>. To perform a parallel save operation, you need <span class="keyword">Backup Recovery and Media Services</span> or an application that allows
you to create media definition objects.</p>
<p>For more information about save-while-active support, concurrent save operations,
and parallel save operations, see the Back up your server information.</p>
