Do the following to back up Powertech Authority Broker v4.x:
- Verify that there are no “active” swaps. To do this:
- From the Authority Broker Main Menu, choose Option 5, Use Authority Broker Configuration Menu
- Choose option 4, Work with Profile Switches.
- For all switch pairings with a status of *ACTIVE, either end them or wait for the user to release their swap. In order to avoid interrupting a potentially critical process, we recommend waiting.
- Verify that job PABWSDMON is not running in the PTWRKMGT subsystem.
- Follow your regular backup procedure, or, if you wish to save the library to a SAVF, use this command to create the SAVF:
CRTSAVF FILE(QGPL/AB4LIBSAVF) TEXT(' Authority Broker Library Savefile')
- If saving to SAVF, use this command to save the library
SAVLIB LIB(PTABLIB) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/AB4LIBSAVF)
Note: There are some activities that will start up Authority Broker again. Avoid starting a timed swap or a swap that captures screens during the backup of the library. Either of these activities will restart the Authority Broker jobs and could interrupt your backup, leaving it incomplete.
