RE: BRMS objs not saved issue

We had something similar, and I have these exit commands in the control
group prior to saving the IFS:

50 *EXIT ENDSBS SBS(QHTTPSVR) OPTION(*IMMED)
60 *EXIT ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*IBMHELP)
70 *EXIT ENDFAXSPT FAXD(*ALL) ENHSRV(*YES)
80 *EXIT DLYJOB DLY(60)
90 *LINK
100 *EXIT STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(*ALL)
110 *EXIT STRFAXSPT ENHSRV(*YES)
120 *EXIT STRTCPSVR SERVER(*IBMHELP)

If I recall, the *IBMHELP server was the culprit for us.

HTH,
Loyd

Subject: BRMS objs not saved issue

We have a BRMS group that does an *ALLUSR but invariably there are some
objects that are locked and there are some objects on the IFS in QIBM
that are also locked (eclipse and univ conn). Thus these are not saved.

We reviewed the job log and are not concerned about any of these
particular QSYS or IFS objects. The total number of QSYS objs is 15 and

they are data areas related to Robot.

The general job stream running out of Robot Schedule is:

1. end a bunch of jobs, services, and subsystems to eliminate locks
2. run the BRMS Daily group with *ALLUSR
3. start the jobs, services, and subsystems we ended in 1 above

Options:

A. Make a CL for the BRMS Daily job and monitor for msg BRM10A1. This
is ok but there is no automatic transparency of objects not saved unless

we write a script to parse the joblog looking for objects not saved.

B. Mess with the omit objects feature in BRMS to specifically exclude
the objects we know are locked. Problem is that this is somewhat
tedious and if we miss something then the job fails at 2am and the pager

goes off (I like to sleep at night).

C. Use a custom *LIST in BRMS to save all the necessary libraries
instead of *ALLUSR. Naw. Don't want to go there. I like the *ALLUSR
sweep to get everything including any new libs a pgmr added the other
day without us really knowing about it.

How are others handling this? Ideas?
