Sending Final Warning Messages
Check to see whether any users are still logged on to the system by entering:
:SHOWJOB JOB=@S
If there are any remaining sessions, besides your own, send them one last warning:
:WARN @S; LOG OFF NOW! BACKUP ABOUT TO BEGIN
NOTE
For an online backup, issue this warning to all users who are still logged on.
You may want to add that they can log back on once the backup has started.
As noted above, the amount of time they need to remain logged off depends on
the amount of data being stored.
For a 7x24 true-online backup, you can send a warning message to all users.
However, you do not need to tell them to log off. It may be a good idea to warn
users of an impending 7x24 true-online backup, since they may see some
decrease in system response time, due to system resources being used for the
backup.
