Example:

       
       $ MUPIP FREEZE -REGION "*"
       

This command prevents updates to all regions in the current Global Directory.

Example:

       
       $ MUPIP FREEZE -OFF -OVERRIDE DEFAULT
       

This command enables updates to the DEFAULT region in the current Global Directory, regardless of what process might have previously suspended them.

Example:

       $ set +e
       $ mupip freeze -on -record "*"
       $ tar cvf /dev/tape /prod/appl/*.dat
       $ mupip freeze -off
       $ set -e
       

The set +e command instructs GT.M that all commands in the sequence are attempted, regardless of errors encountered by any command. This ensures that the freeze -off is processed even if the tar command fails. FREEZE prevents updates to all database files identified by the current Global Directory. The -record qualifier specifies that the current transaction in each database be stored in the RECORD portion of the database file header. The tar command creates a tape archive file on the device /dev/tape, containing all the files from /prod/app that have an extension of .dat. Presumably all database files in the current Global Directory are stored in that directory, with that extension. The second FREEZE command re-enables updates that were suspended by the first FREEZE. The set -e command re-enables normal error handling by the shell.
