 We are trying to backup an oracle data base live by using the oracle
 alter tablespace table.space.name begin backup

 After this oracle command has been given then we issue the adsm command to
backup the table space.  This works as along as no update action is being done,
 however if the table space is being updated while the backup is being done
 then we get the table space is being changed and the backup is skipped.

 Has anyone tried this and can you till me why after the begin backup command
 issued that oracle will continue to change the table space

 Thanks in advance for any help.
