<div><p>The amount of CPU capacity that is available for the save process can have
a large influence on the time required for the save operation to complete.
Therefore, be prepared for the save-while-active operation to take longer
than a save operation on a restricted server. The change in the time required
for the save operation to complete may be as little as 10 percent longer to
four to five times longer or more. This depends on the server resources that
are available for the save. As a guideline, allow only about 30% of
the CPU for workloads that are running in the background.</p>

<div><p>The active jobs during a save-while-active operation can affect both the
response time and the duration of the save operation. Try to use the save-while-active
function when CPU utilization is low and the amount of update activity on
the server is low.</p>
