Adding Saved History to a System That Has Just Been Added to a BRMS Network

Troubleshooting

Problem

This document describes how to add the saved history from other systems in a BRMS network to a newly added system.

Resolving The Problem

When adding a system to a BRMS network, if the Receive Media Info parameter in the system policy is set to *LIB, it will be changed back to *NONE when the INZBRM *NETSYS is run. This is because BRMS gets the information from the system specified in the FROMSYS parameter and it would be set to *NONE. Because of this, saved history from the other system(s) is not copied over to the new system being added. Saved history from the other systems in the BRMS network will only be synched to the new system from the time it is added onwards once Receive Media Info changed to *LIB.

To add the saved history from other systems in a BRMS network to a system that was just added to the BRMS network, the following steps can be run:

1.	On the source system that has Receive Media Info set to *LIB , save QUSRBRM/QA1AHS file.
2.	On the target system, restore QUSRBRM/QA1AHS saved in Step 1 to a different library.
3.	On the target system, run the following commands *INZBRM OPTION(MERGE) FROMLIB(OLDLIB) TOLIB(QUSRBRM) MERGE(HST)* where OLDLIB is the library QUSRBRM/QA1AHS was restored to in Step 2.

Notes:

1.	When running the INZBRM OPTION(*MERGE) , it is very important that no other BRMS activity occurs on this system. This includes other systems in the BRMS network sending updates to this system.
2.	Ensure a save of QUSRBRM library is run before running the command.

3. BRMS does not verify if there is sufficient space on the system to merge the BRMS files. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that there is enough space on the system for the restore of the QUSRBRM library from the donor system and additional space to merge the files into the current QUSRBRM library.
