AS/400 daily backup issues
(OP)
I am having an automated daily backups failing with the error message.....
*Daily backup not successful or not complete (CPF1E68)
When I check the job log it says that... The *DAILY backup has finished, but one or more of the objects that you specified to back up were not saved. The objects that were not saved may have been in use by another user.
How do I trace what user is logged on or why is the backup not complete?

I am unable to set the idle timer as that would cause problems. People tend to be in the middle of using the system and then they walk away to handle a customer. If they are timed out it could cause an object to be locked.
I was hoping that there was an easy way to find who is leaving themselves logged on all night.

Is there a scheduled job that runs at night that could lock a file?

If you display the joblog and use the find option you can search for 'not saved'. It should tell you the name of any objects not saved.
Then the question is are you using a CL program to do the backup. If so then in the CL, before the backup of the library I would put this command: WRKOBJLCK obj(thefilenamenotsaved) objtype(theobjecttype) output(*print). Put in your file name and your object type. The next morning the backup job should have a spool file showing who locked the file.
We scan the joblog of the backup every week or 2 for the literal 'not saved' to audit the backup.
