these actions periodically rather than daily improves the performance of
BRMS maintenance operations.
The Move Media using BRM (MOVMEDBRM) command is enhanced to allow
the moved volume information to be placed in an outfile so that it can be
processed programmatically.
Start Backup using BRM (STRBKUBRM) has a new option that allows users
to submit a restricted state backup to batch in the controlling subsystem. It
bypasses the need to start the BRMS console monitor on the system console
session. A new Omits (OMITS) parameter is also added so that users can
indicate to BRMS whether to process or ignore omitted items without having
to modify the control group.
BRMS backup and saved history is updated to allow for saving and restoring
saved spooled file from output queues residing on ASP devices.
BRMS now ships four new programs that can be used when defining BRMS
as the Media Management System for Tivoli Storage Manager Server for
OS/400 PASE. These programs use BRMS to perform mounts, dismounts,
expire, and delete operations on behalf of this IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
server.
BRMS continues to enhance the System Recovery report by re-introducing
step numbering, more detailed descriptions of recovery tasks and the
inclusion of ASP devices saved on other systems. In addition, the *RESUME
option is enhanced to preserve your remaining recovery items through a
sign-off or across an initial program load (IPL).
The storage required for the media information of saved IFS objects is
significantly reduced. The smaller QUSRBRM library means faster saves of
the IBM libraries and saves of the BRMS media information, especially if
users have saved many IFS objects and maintain object detail.
The BRMS installation process is improved by deferring the QUSRBRM
updates until after the installation has completed. This results in reduced
installation times for your software upgrades and allows you to better plan for
the BRMS software update.
BRMS incremental backup is improved through the use of better reference
date management to eliminate use of older reference dates, which cause
redundant saves of library objects.
The size limitation of the SAVxxxBRM commands is removed by extending
the command length to the full 32 KB limit.
The Display Log for BRM (DSPLOGBRM) and Work with Saved Spooled Files
(WRKSPLFBRM) commands are updated to allow the displaying of more than
10,000 entries.
