Purpose

The Save Save Files using BRM (SAVSAVFBRM) command saves save files created during BRMS processing to tape. Various parameters allow you to select which save files that you want to copy to tape. For instance, you can select a range of save file creation dates to include in the save files that you want to copy to tape with further qualification of control group and media class. You can schedule the SAVSAVFBRM command through the system job scheduler, through another job scheduler or on demand. Expired save files that are not waiting to be copied to tape are deleted when the SAVSAVFBRM command processes.

Note: You must have authority to the SAVSAVFDTA command to use this command.

Note: This command should not be used by control group *EXIT item processing as results will be unpredictable.

Note: Data in a save file created with device *NONE will never be copied by BRMS to tape. The save file is intended for online access only.

Example for SAVSAVFBRM

Example 1: Saving Save Files to Removable Media

SAVSAVFBRM CTLGRP(BACK*) MEDCLS(QIC1000)
BEGIN(*AVAIL '1/1/99') END(*AVAIL *CURRENT)

In the example, all backup control groups whose name begins with the BACK that created save files with media class QIC1000 are saved to tape. The device to which the save files are to be saved is specified in the save file itself and is thus not specified in the command. The save files that are to be included are save files that were created between 1/1/99 and the current date. Creation time does not matter. Expired save files that are not waiting to be copied to tape are deleted when the command processes.
