Re: MAPICS backup

Tim,
I don't have any experience with BRMS or advanced scheduler. Just be aware that 
Mapics does some house cleaning when you run the Mapics Backup(batches,trdata). 
So you would need to include in you custom backup if you don't do Mapics 
backup..
R6 mapics now includes the scheduling function. Shutsdown any active sessions, 
including browser.  I have a couple of customers running the R6 backup.. Seems 
to be working fine...It just puts an entry on the AS/400 job scheduler.
 
Hope this helps

Good morning - does anyone have experience using either IBM's BRMS product 
or Advanced Scheduler to perform MAPICS nightly backups? - we are at 
version 5.5 of MAPICS & also have the Paperless data collection module, 
which means ending subsystems for the backup would not be allowable - any 
hints or suggestions would be appreciated, especially if CL programs would 
be required to make BRMS/advanced scheduler work, or if version 6.0 offers 
any improvements re: MAPICS backups - thanks!! - Tim Bertnick with
