RE: Does BRMS know about saves done outside of BRMS?

Jim, Kirk - thanks for the info.  Luckily we do have access to the CL source so maybe we'll see about changing this to use SAVOBJBRM.

BRMS does not know about the periodic journal receiver saves and
therefore would be unable to help you with your recovery.  The good news
is all you have to do is create a control group that has the save
operations you want in it, and then use the STRBKUBRM command to run
it.  Another option would be to change the SAVOBJ command in the control
language programs to SAVOBJBRM.  Both will accomplish the same thing.
If you are appending saves onto the same tape today, you can replicated
that in BRMS by setting the appropriate switches in the control group or
on the SAVOBJBRM command.

In both cases the media management needs to be done to the tapes are
ready but that's the easy part.

When  I run the STRRCYBRM *REPORT command I don't see any reference to those. Does BRMS know about saves done with the native commands?  In the event of recovery I would certainly need to know about those objects.
