Re: BRMS: FTPing virtual images to another system.

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Ok, I've been ftping my virtual tape images to the other system.  Now I 
have my control group modified so that a CL programs now does in one exit 
what used to be done in a couple of exits.  Therefore I do not have to put 
SAVMEDIBRM as a control group step - thus possibly generations 
unpredictable results.  However upon the completion of the dupmedbrm on 
the receiving system I do not see the tape associated with the sending 
system.  For example
GDWEB saves to virtual
GDWEB ftp's the virtual to GDWEB2.
GDWEB2 does the DUPMEDBRM.

But two things are wrong in my book.

One, the volume created, BR0101, shows up in
WRKMEDBRM SYSNAME(GDI1.GDWEB2)
and not in
WRKMEDBRM SYSNAME(APPN.GDWEB)

Two, when I do a 
WRKLNKBRM DIR('/Domino/XQP02/data')
and use option 9=Work with directory information
I only see
Date      Time      Save   Volume    Expiration
Saved     Saved     Type   Serial       Date 
03/09/12  23:15:45  *FULL  BR0037     03/04/13 
06/09/12  10:13:20  *FULL  BR0195     06/04/13 
09/08/12  00:51:06  *FULL  BR0188     09/03/13 
12/07/12  23:11:55  *FULL  BR0247     12/02/13 
02/05/13  05:02:24  *FULL  BR0100     02/19/13 
I would also like to see BR0101.  Not only am I not seeing that but I am 
not seeing what I see in 
WRKMEDBRM SYSNAME(APPN.GDWEB)
which was:
Volume           Creation Expiration 
Serial    Status   Date      Date    Location
 
BR0037     *ACT  03/09/12  03/05/13  IRONMTN 
BR0100     *ACT  02/05/13  02/19/13  IRONMTN 
BR0188     *ACT  09/08/12  09/03/13  IRONMTN 
BR0195     *ACT  06/09/12  06/04/13  IRONMTN 
BR0247     *ACT  12/07/12  12/02/13  IRONMTN 
VRT001     *EXP  02/16/13  02/17/13  *HOME 

When I use 13=Display contents on VRT001 I see:
(No entries found matching search criteria)
Hmm, that's not good either, eh?  I thought stuff stayed on expired tapes 
until they were reused or initialized?
I can load the virtual tape on to the virtual device, perform a DSPTAP, 
and I see:
Data file label  . . . . . . . . . :   SAV20130216
File sequence  . . . . . . . . . . :   0000000001 
Data file label  . . . . . . . . . :   QUSRBRM 
File sequence  . . . . . . . . . . :   0000000002
