Re: BRMS recovery report questions/issues

Rob,

We keep our month end saves forever, auditing requirements, etc.
Those deleted libraries are on those saves.

I could expire those libraries from those backups.
That would be very time consuming, and not sure it's the proper thing to do.

Any other suggestions?

The recovery report helps us in case we need to restore something which is needed to run daily activities. If you want BRMS to keep track of objects, but do not want them to remain on the system. You have to use archiving function. This function has an option to *delete* the objects after save to tape. And the sequence used to save to tape does not appear in the Recovery report. However, I am unsure if we can archive a library. We can do it for some objects types, but not sure for library. What you can do is archive the objects but keep the library empty.

By the way, there is an OMITLIB parameter, which accepts *DELETE value which could answer you question.

We'll start with 2, the deleted libraries. You still have save copies of them. They will stay in this fashion until you remove all saves of them.
