Re: BRMS Reports - Where do you keep them?

[Jim Obeholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Others have given good suggestions.

My customers all get set up so the BRMS reports go into a transformation
services out queue (free from IBM) to create the PDFs.  Then we usually
have a batch job that kicks off to FTP them to another server, usually off
site.  Many of my customers use my IBM i system for that purpose.  Many
also email them to me and their cloud based email.  Unlike Rob, we keep the
same number of reports as we have tapes to match in rotation, so any given
full/cumulative pair of tapes should have a report that goes along with
it.  The auditors love that little item for some reason.
