Status: Unverified
GOAL:
Running OS backup on a non-accessed database
GOAL:
No access to the database during OS Backup
FIX:
The following strategy has been tested with 9.1D05 64 bit on HP-UX 11, for a database named "sports".
You should test it with your specific configuration; it is not part of Progress qualification tests.
1. Prior to starting the OS backup, make sure a ".lk" file is created for the database
> echo "" > sports.lk
Access from a Progress process (probkup, rfutil, proutil, proserve, pro) will fail with the message
Unable to read the (probably truncated) .lk file. (1383)
except for a Read-Only access ("pro sports -RO").
2. When the OS backup of all the database files is terminated, remove the ".lk" file.
> rm sports.lk
