Re: Does BRMS know about saves done outside of BRMS?

BRMS does not know about the periodic journal receiver saves and therefore would be unable to help you with your recovery. The good news is all you have to do is create a control group that has the save operations you want in it, and then use the STRBKUBRM command to run it. Another option would be to change the SAVOBJ command in the control language programs to SAVOBJBRM. Both will accomplish the same thing. If you are appending saves onto the same tape today, you can replicated that in BRMS by setting the appropriate switches in the control group or on the SAVOBJBRM command.

In both cases the media management needs to be done to the tapes are ready but that's the easy part.

My recently inherited system is now operational and I am refreshing my memory of BRMS from years ago.

While we use BRMS for the daily and weekly saves, we have vendor software that saves Journal Receivers all day long to tape (using SAVOBJ). When I run the STRRCYBRM *REPORT command I don't see any reference to those. Does BRMS know about saves done with the native commands? In the event of recovery I would certainly need to know about those objects.
