Allow to access a database during a pause in a roll forward

During a roll forward, it will be helpful to access the database in read mode in order to identify the point where to open the database. If it is not the desired point, then apply more logs, until find the desired point.

    When I say "access the database" in read more, I mean, to perform select on customer tables, and retrieve data, at least one connection (no concurrency, only command line for example). This will help to identify the status of the desired timestamp provided in the roll forward.

    > it will be helpful to access the database in read mode in order to identify the point where to open the database

    Can you please provide a bit more detail on exactly what kind of operations you would be interested in if you were able to connect to a database in rollforward pending? What would you want to look at "to identify where to open the database"?
