In IMS Recovery Expert, if there is no quiet time, show least busy times.

Currently, IMS Recovery Expert only shows quiet times when the database does not have any inflight Units of Work. When looking at recovery scenarios with Cyber Vault situations, we may have periods of time that we will need to recover to where there are always inflight Units of Work in process. If there are no quiet times available, customers would like to see the least busy times.

    After further review and investigation, we have decided to decline this RFE. IMS Database Recovery Facility can still recover to any timestamp regardless of the number of updates inflight at that time. The "PITR OPEN UOW / UOR REPORT" output by Database Recovery Facility during a Point in Time Recovery can be used to show any transactions that occurred after the timestamp to which you recovered.
