Quiet_Point
Noquiet_Point
Allows you to specify that the database backup operation is to
occur either immediately or when a quiet point for database
activity occurs. A quiet point is defined as a point where no
active update transactions are in progress in the database.
Therefore, this qualifier is used with the Online qualifier.
When you specify the Noquiet_Point qualifier, RMU Backup proceeds
with the backup operation as soon as the RMU Backup command is
issued, regardless of any update transaction activity in progress
in the database. Because RMU Backup must acquire concurrent-
read locks on all physical and logical areas, the backup
operation will fail if there are any active transactions with
exclusive locks on a storage area. However, once RMU Backup has
successfully acquired all concurrent-read storage area locks it
should not encounter any further lock conflicts. If a transaction
that causes Oracle Rdb to request exclusive locks is started
while the backup operation is proceeding, that transaction will
either wait or receive a lock conflict error, but the RMU Backup
command will continue unaffected.
See the Usage_Notes help entry under this command for
recommendations on using the Quiet_Point and Noquiet_Point
qualifiers.
The default is the Quiet_Point qualifier.
