File sharing and interlocks? (FLK)

» close window

The Question is:

 
How can I copy a file which is currently OPEN across NODES. (The DCL COPY
 command does
not have a /IGNORE=INTERLOCK switch similar to the BACKUP utility).
 

The Answer is :

 
  BACKUP, of course, or CONVERT/SHARE
 
  The interlock you seek to override exists not to be overridden,
  but rather to prevent you from unknowingly acquiring invalid or
  corrupt or inconsistent data.
 
  For information on opening a file with sharing enabled, please
  see the OpenVMS FAQ.
