When doing online backup on DB2 UDB 7.x running on Linux, what kind of performance hit is there for applications. Also how does the running applications are affected?

Thanks in advance

Thanks but still one question!!! What happen to the currently running transactions when doing online bakcup and future ones while backup is taking place??

Thanks again

Paul

There can be uncommited transactions in an online backup ....

When restoring, your rollforward will commit/rollback the transactions ...

Thanks for your response. Actually my question is does transaction waits for the backup to complete (I am assuming online backup process might need locks on table or tablespaces) is it the case?

Thanks

Paul

AFAIK, the online backup does not lock any transactuin ...
