Re: BRMS Control Group ?

Jack,

No. *EXIT is only there so you can run a command inside the control group such as one of the send message commands or to call a program. It's also used to run the SAVDOMBRM command that do a save while active save of Domino databases.

You'll see *EXIT there simply because some folks like to put them in. Use F11 to see what is behind the *EXIT.

One note, there is no method for determining if a command ran to completion without errors in a control group so error handling must be in the command prior to returning control back to the control group.

Jack,

Here is a sample control group that will do what you asked:


Group . . . . . . . . . . : MYTEST
Default activity . . . . . *BKUPCY
Text . . . . . . . . . . . *NONE

Type information, press Enter.

Weekly Retain Save SWA
Backup List ASP Activity Object While Message Sync
Seq Items Type Device SMTWTFS Detail Active Queue ID

10 *SAVCFG *DFTACT *NO
20 *SAVSECDTA *DFTACT *NO
30 QGPL *SYSBAS *DFTACT *ERR *NO
40 *LOAD *DFTACT

The last statement will cause BRMS to load a new volume. I rarely see
this in BRMS but it is used, usually to cause a duplicate tape to be
created.

As to the media management. Assuming you have all the tapes loaded into
BRMS when you put a tape into the library, the category will start out
as *INSERTED. Change the category to *SHARE400 and your good to go.

I am looking to create a simple control group to test against each

gain a better understanding of the software, then submit with the

would

savcfg, savsecdata, then backup QGPL library. ONce I write this
information to the tape volume will I need to do a demount, then add a

new

volume *SHARE400?? Or can the tape mount, init, write, unload, mount

next

tape be automated within BRMS.
