    Running IRRUT200 as fast as possible would be great.

    We have seen delays when IRRUT200 runs, there is no window anymore where transactional volume is low and not affected by the backup of the RACF DB. This would be a welcome addition.

    We are very interested in pursuing this, and any other options, to improve performance of the RACF -- and the RACFBKUP DB.

    Very interested in this option. Current backup utility IRRUT200 takes about 9 seconds and can lock out users for that time. When running 1000's of transactions a second it can be painful.

    This item is a valid requirement but unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan. If this requirement is high value, please re-open it, or open a new requirement.
