You can also move media by control group. Control groups consist
of groups of libraries, objects, folders, spooled files, and other
types of data that share common characteristics. You can create move
patterns for control groups in the move policy that is associated
with the media policy for that control group. You can find more detailed
information about control groups in Tailoring Your Backup.
To use
a move policy with a control group, take the following steps:
Create the move policy, including the move pattern, that you want
to use with the control group.
Go to the Change Backup Control Group Attributes display that
is associated with the control group you want to move. Note the name
of the media policy you use in the control group.
Use the WRKPCYBRM *MED command to get to the Work with Media Policies
display.
Type a 2 (Change) in front of the media policy that is associated
with the control group you want to move and press Enter.
Put your cursor in the field next to the Move
policy parameter. Press F4 for a list of available move policies.
Select the move policy you just created for the control group
you want to move.
Press Enter to save your changes and to return to the Work with
Media Policies display.
BRMS tracks the movement of the media on which it saved the control
group through the move pattern you created in the move policy.
