That worked good. Thank you for that. Now all I have to do is change the
font type to something like FIXEDSYS or COURIER NEW (both fixed fonts,
not proportional) and my columns should line up properly.
How do I do that?

If stopud just kills the Windows services (I don't know what it does), that

Each pid runs as a seperate Windows process and is not signalled when the main

You can manually kill any pid however. Maybe stopud does more than that.

I have no idea how that would be done. I use a U2 VB script to start
services when Windows starts, but have no idea how to alert the dbms

With a simple solution out there (it's been there for many years), I'm
also amazed this simple issue hasn't been implemented. :-
You have to write a script that logs in as the phantom user, so that the jobs
are launched inside U2.
I really have no idea why IBM / Rocket didn't figure out a better way to solve
this.
See my past thread on the COLDSTART, a very useful command which went bye bye

Sure would be nice if VSS would cause a dbpause type thing to occur while
snapshot is taking place...

Oh Geez -- I forgot all open files were managed in private memory! That
moves it all the way to the 'never can happen' setup!
Thanks Wally for the slap-up-side-of-the-head!

I would not envision having every active UniData process on the system close
all of their files when a dbpause command is run. Each process has it's own
file handles in its private memory.
Processes not actively updating files would need to be signaled that dbpause is
requested and then run thr
As far as I know, Windows doesn't care about UniData. If the Volume
Shadow Copy service is running the backups cruise right through
everything. Now, to answer the question of whether it works, we're not

You have processes running in the middle of the night.
So how do you tell they are not "in motion" ?
You could just stop those processes. right?

Does that question come up to other people as they transition users to U2?

It's dependent on the software in use -- we have customers who want to use
what they've always used as backup software, and many of the products they
have been using will not back up 'open' files. So they end up skipping our

I mean, on Windows, there could be a dbpause 'flag' that tells UniData to
close all the open file handles on dbpause and reopen them on dbresume.
That would fix the issue!

Dbpause doesn't close files. It blocks updates by UniData processes to UniData
files. This is via a flag in shared memory that all UniData processes access.
We have no control as to how operating systems manage file system files.

Has the issue on Windows been resolved? Our customers reported that UniData
maintained 'open files' at a dbpause, which still made the backup difficult
with a dbpause.
