Hi John

I'm not sure whether this will help you much; I had a similar problem with BRMS but I actually wanted to make it wait longer than 120 seconds. Personally I wouldn't see a 2 minute wait as an issue :)

In my case I used the SAVWACTMSGQ parameter on the SAVLIBBRM command, specifying a message queue monitored by a MONSWABRM command. This was set via an *EXIT as the previous entry in the BRMS control group and restarted processing when the save while active checkpoint was reached; this actually worked better for my purposes than trying to establish a time limit or delay.

I couldn't find anywhere to set or influence the time when I was trying to do what you want to do but that's not to say it doesn't exist !

Hope this helps

Regards
Evan Harris

I'm currently reviewing a backup policy with a view to introducing weekly cumulative SWA backups using BRMS on a development iSeries (on V5R2M0).
To cater for the cumulative aspect, it will be necessary for me to specify the reference date/time. Consequently, the save cannot be started using STRBKUBRM (as now) and instead the SAVLIBBRM command will have to be used. SAVLIBBRM has the REFDATE/REFTIME parameters that I require.
The problem is that there appears to be no SAVACTWAIT parameter on SAVLIBBRM. SAVACTWAIT is available on SAVLIB, allowing the wait for locked objects to be reduced from 120 seconds to something shorter. Does anyone know how I can reduce the 120 second SWA wait in SAVLIBBRM.... or is there another way to use BRMS to perform cumulative backups using SWA and a reference date/time?
John.
