You can perform an offline backup of a secondary database using the jdbutil or jdbutilb JADE Database utility when the database is offline; that is, the secondary database server has been shut down.
As roll-forward recovery on a secondary database that terminates with outstanding transactions does not undo the incomplete transactions, any active transactions at the end of recovery therefore remain in an incomplete state.
If it is necessary to convert a restored secondary database into a primary database to support update processing, you must perform a hostile takeover operation. For details, see "Performing a Hostile Takeover" under "SDS Takeover Operations", earlier in this chapter.
