Purpose

The Save System using BRM (SAVSYSBRM) command saves a copy of the Licensed Internal Code and the QSYS library in a format compatible with the installation process. It does not save objects from any other library. The SAVSYSBRM command saves all object types shown on the OBJTYPE parameter in the Save Object (SAVOBJBRM) command. In addition, it saves security and configuration objects.
