Aborting Any Remaining Sessions

Check one more time whether all sessions (except your own) have logged off by entering:

   :SHOWJOB JOB=@S

Either abort any sessions other than your own that are still executing, or check with the users and ask them once more to log off. To abort sessions, use the ABORTJOB command and the session numbers that appear in the first column on your screen, as follows:

   :ABORTJOB #Snnn

After you have aborted all sessions (except your own) issue a SHOWJOB command to check that all sessions are aborted. When the system responds that you are the only session on the system (as shown below), you are ready to begin the backup.

	NOTE: For an online backup, abort any remaining sessions on your system before starting the backup. You can allow jobs and users back on the system after receiving the console message from TurboSTORE indicating that files can now be accessed. For a 7x24 true-online backup, you do not have to abort any remaining jobs or sessions. They can continue to run throughout the backup.
