  • BRMS Learns New Tricks

    October 14, 2014 Alex Woodie

    IBM is adding new capabilities to several existing commands in Backup, Recovery and Media Services (BRMS), the native backup facility included with IBM i.

    IBM made four enhancements to BRMS with last week’s announcement of IBM i 7.1 Technology Refresh 9 (TR9) and IBM i 7.2 TR1. According to IBM’s announcement letters, the enhancements include:

    • During backup of integrated file system (IFS) objects, the Start Backup Using BRM (STRBKUBRM) command has been enhanced to automatically remount file systems after a backup is run for a control group
    • The Print Report using BRM (PRTRPTBRM) command has been enhanced to support multiple values on the From System (FROMSYS) parameter. The PRTRPTBRM command has also been enhanced to support the Use Save Files (USESAVF) and TSM (USEADSM) parameters;9
    • Control group entries *ALLCHGRCV and *ALLDTCRCV have been enhanced to process journals in libraries that start with ‘Q’ when they are specified in object lists QCHGJRNRCV and QDTCJRNRCV
    • Finally, BRMS now supports backups using new tape device type 3592 models

    For more information, see United States Software Announcement 214-399 and United States Software Announcement 214-418.
