  • 1.  is aborting of syncvg possible?

    Is there any "algorithm" to calculate performance degradation (if any) during such syncvg running?
    kind regards,

    Ok, I have tested it killing syncvg and lrsynclv processes and looks it works. The question is now if it is not recommended for any reasons? Risk of a data corruption?

    So, in general, don't kill it ..
