Stewart,
The FAST Gather Statistics and Type Analysis processes can be safely
run while other users are accessing the files. The FAST processes are read
only and use no locks are other mechanisms that would interfere with access
to the files. Of course, if the files were being heavily updated it could
cause the calculations to be inaccurate but that would be the worst that
might happen.
Only the Resize process cannot be safely run with other uses in the
files.
Hope this helps! Please feel free to contact us for help at

Subject: [U2] [UV] FAST Running while system in use
Hi All,
We currently use FAST for the resizing of files and part of the process is
collecting file stats for the purpose of calculating new file sizes,
separation etc.
I was wondering if running the stats collection process can be run whilst
the system is being used (files being updated etc) without causing any
issues?
I had a strange issue today when one of our program files could not be
opened and this caused a background process (phantom) to crash. On
inspection I could open the file there were no permission problems. I
restarted the phantom all worked just fine. However, I noticed that our
Database Admins where running one of the FAST processes and thus my question
above.
All replies gratefully accepted.
Kind Regards,
Stewart Mitchell
