Command Overview
STOP UPDATE
The STOP UPDATE command suspends updating of the backup database and stops
all updater processes.
If you use the stop-update-to-time version of this command, the TIMESTAMP
parameter suspends updating at the specified time. A stop-update-to-time
operation is cancelled by a STOP RDF, SQL Shared Access DDL, or takeover
operation.
day
is a number from 1 to 31.
month
is the first three letters of the month, such as JAN, FEB, MAR.
year
is a four-digit number, such as 2000.
hour
is a number from 0 to 23.
min
is a number from 00 to 59. min must be preceded by a colon (:).
If all protected data volumes on the primary system are not up and enabled when the
specified TIMESTAMP is reached, both the stop-update-to-time operation and the RDF
product abort. In such a case, you can restart RDF immediately but you should not
reissue the stop-update-to-time command until all protected data volumes on the
primary system are up and enabled.
Where Issued
Primary system only.
Security Restrictions
You can issue the STOP UPDATE command only if you are a member of the super-
user group and have remote passwords on both the primary and backup systems.
STOP UPDATE [ , TIMESTAMP <day><mon><year><hour>:<min> ]
Note. The timestamp you specify must be at least 5 minutes later than the current time at your
primary system. If you specify an earlier time, an error message appears.
