RE: BRMS - how to see objects actually backed up? -- MIDRANGE-L

This is one area where BRMS really needs a bit of help. There is no good
report on what was backed up during the last backup.

The print saved objects report is a place to start. You can pick the
from/to dates and it will list the objects saved. It is the print output
from the WRKOBJBRM command. Unfortunately no outfile output on that one.

I use the PRTRPTBRM to get statistics from the last backup. You can pick
the backup status and then put a start/finish date on it. You can print it
or send it to an out file.

I send it to an outfile and use SQL to then figure out how many objects were
saved, not saved, when the save started/ended etc. You could just as easily
print a report from it.

You can use SQL to grab most anything you need from the BRMS tables
(QUSRBRM) but just be sure you don't update any of the files. There's no
good list of the BRMS files and what they contain, so you'll have to hunt a
bit.

Try DSPLOGBRM.

Bill,

There is an option in BRMS to "save object detail", which will keep a
log of every object saved.
However, not recommended by BRMS support, adds time, (I've seen hours)
and space to the BRMS save.

There is an option in BRMS to record missed objects.

Subject: BRMS - how to see objects actually backed up?

Hello all,

We are having an issue with seeing which objects that BRMS is actually
backing up during our nightly backup. If I go in through the BRMS
options and try to work with saved objects from the particular day and
library in question, what I see is actually the objects that were NOT
backed up because they were in use, and not the objects that were
actually being saved. Is the option that actually shows what was
saved on a particular day hidden somewhere in plain sight? Am I just
blind? I'm using option 2 on the "Display Backup History" menu. Any info

is most appreciated.

Thanks!
