BACKCICS Utility to Backup Advantage™ CA-Ramis® Databases in CICS
While Advantage CA-Ramis databases must be backed up using the Advantage CA-Ramis BACKUP utility, the BACKUP utility is not permitted when any concurrent user or batch job has acquired a lock on the database. There may be occasions when a backup is desired for a database that is open in an active CICS region, such as for those applications that need
24-by-7 availability. A special utility, BACKCICS, is provided to allow for this. Read this article for more information.
