Yes, rtabmap.db should be closed before accessing it with other application. Online, the best approach is to save cloud_map like you did. Otherwise, when clicking on stop, you could kill rtabmap node so that it closes safely the database, then use rtabmap-export tool. However, restarting rtabmap node may not be obvious. Other approach is to call /rtabmap/backup service. It will create rtabmap.db.back in ~/.ros folder that could be used to export the cloud with rtabmap-export.
