is. Therefore should be run just before the upgrade. I think
documentation is suggesting DMA should be run in advance to make sure everything

<DIV>When DMA creates the informix DB on the CM4.x PUB does it take a snapshot
of the current database at the time that its run and maintain that copy of the
DB indefinitely or does it actually create a snapshot and keep a running
replication of the actual CM database so that changes via ccmadmin are
captured in the informix DB? </DIV>
<DIV>Scenario</DIV>
<DIV>Customer wants to install DMA tomorrow during their maintenance window
however they want to pull the actual DMA backup in 2 weeks right before we cut
the new system? So in theory if DMA does not replicate the DBs they could
have a DMA backup that's 2 weeks old? </DIV>
