RE: BRMS Backup Alert

OR ... Run your control groups from a Job Scheduler package like "Robot" or IBM's "Advanced Job Scheduler"... They have the ability to monitor for errors and notify via e-mail.

This is how I do it and it works great!

Sneha,

Yes you can accomplish what you want to do, but not from within the control group. The problem being that the control group processing does not have the needed hooks in it to process the error.

My suggestion is that you have all of the back up and save while active checkpoint messages go to a message queue you create. I used "MYSYSLIB/BACKUP". (use what ever library you would like, in the example here MYSYSLIB would be at the top of the system library list. Just
don't put it in QSYS. QGPL or QUSRSYS Ok) Now you can write a CL
program that monitors that message queue, and can also monitor the BRMS logs for errors and react to them as needed.

Pro* Hi,

We have BRMS configured on AS400 V5R4 thru which the daily backup runs.
Is there a way thru which BRMS can send an email to the operator when the backup fails in between?

As an example,if the backup fails at sequence 590 below,then can the BRMS send the alert email to the operator with the name of the library where the backup failed.

Seq Backup Items
570 WSU
580 YSDATA
590 YSDPCAN
600 YSIGR

Regards
Sneha
