RE: BRMS scatter saves

Rob,

Your largest library only contains journal receivers, correct?
Interesting?

No easy way to slit objects in this library when there all the same type, and almost the same name?

ICOMS20350 *JRNRCV CABLEFILES ICOMS Journal Receiver - CB
ICOMS20351 *JRNRCV CABLEFILES ICOMS Journal Receiver - CB

Thanks.

Our "big" library is journal receivers. We do INSANE retention of journal receivers.
When you think of a restore strategy you should have your receiver library restored before your data library. So you shouldn't do *ALLUSR (except #BIGLIB) #BIGLIB

You could do
#BIGLIB
*ALLUSR (except #BIGLIB)
But do you want it there before QUSRSYS and QGPL?

But one or the other is the only work around if you want to scatter save #BIGLIB.

Rob,

I remember discussing this in a previous thread.

I have a similar situation with one of my libraries, 5 times larger than
any other library.

The problem I have with IBM's solution is that you have to hardcode
libraries and objects within BRMS using multiple control groups.
I prefer not to do this, because every time a new library is created or a
library is deleted, you must revisit your BRMS control groups config.
I'm a strong advocate of *alluser, no changes needed to BRMS when new
library is created or a library is deleted, and you know you are backing
up 100%.
Prior to using *alluser, we were burned in the past when someone created a
new library, and it wasn't added to the save.

Gave you a vote.

Paul

Sounds familiar, like I've discussed this before.

Anyway, I opened up an RFE and if this pertains to you then I'd appeciate
your vote.
