Yup by quisce I mean DB2 "SET LOG SUSPEND" command to temporary suspend insert/update/delete activities.
Looks like with Flashcopy v2 Freeze FlashCopy Consistency Group option, this is no longer necessary, the end results is still the same. Since DB2 won't be able to do any insert/update/delete activities as ESS will hold off I/O activity to a volume for a time period by putting the source volume in extended long busy state to obtain a consistent point-in-time copy of the related volume. But this makes for simpler PIT back operational procedures when backing up DB2.

At the completion of the PIT copy you would then issue a DB2 "LOG RESUME". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
