Rob,
I already have the recovery report emailed as a PDF using Info Print Server.
I do like you idea of storing a copy on three geographically dispersed servers.

As I showed in the code I posted, I always run STRRCYBRM in a program, wrapped so that the report goes straight to pdf (with the use of the freebie 5770TS1) and then I store a copy of that PDF on to three geographically dispersed servers.

I found an issue with running the recovery reports via STRMNTBRM.
Print recovery reports . . . . . PRTRCYRPT *ALL
Even after changing the command default
CHGCMDDFT CMD(QBRM/STRRCYBRM) NEWDFT('USEDUPMED(*YES)')
STRRCYBRM is still running as 'USEDUPMED(*NO)')
This is causing my recovery report to be inaccurate, referencing older
BRMS volumes instead of current.
If I run the recovery report directly, STRRCYBRM, command default is used,
'USEDUPMED(*YES), report is accurate.
Opening a PMR with IBM for this issue.

Rob and Marc,
You both hit the nail on the head.
USEDUPMED defaults to *NO.
I changed it to *YES, all old volumes disappeared from the report.
However, I run the recovery report via STRMNTBRM.
When run this way, you lose the ability to change USEDUPMED from *NO to
*YES.
I may have to :
CHGCMDDFT CMD(QBRM/STRRCYBRM) NEWDFT('USEDUPMED(*YES)')
SHWDLTLIB only became available with V7R2.
I'm not seeing that option with V7R1.

STRRCYBRM
Maybe it's a translation thing, but is this the option you're talking
about
Show deleted libraries . . . . . SHWDLTLIB *YES
if he changes that to *NO they will drop off the recovery report?

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.
Paul

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.
