Purpose

BRMS uses the OS/400 job scheduler as the default job scheduler. You can also choose to use the IBM Job Scheduler for iSeries job scheduler as your default scheduler or select any other OS/400 job scheduler as your default.

The Change Job Scheduler for BRM (CHGSCDBRM) command allows you to change the job scheduler interface used by BRMS. You can change the commands that BRMS uses to add, list and select job schedule entries. You can also specify whether you want you want to be prompted when BRMS uses these commands.

The following substitution variables can be used in these commands to pass values from BRMS to the scheduler: BRMS passes information to the four substitution variables. The substitution variables are:

• &JOBNAME - QBRMBKUP or QBRMARC
  
  
• &REQUEST - will be either STRARCBRM or STRBKUBRM
  
  
• &APPL - BRMS
  
  
• &GROUP - control group name

You can change these to your operation requirements or choose to use the defaults.
