Scheduling Control Group Backups

The Work with Control Groups (WRKCTLGBRM) display makes it easy to schedule backups by providing a direct interface to the i5/OS™ job scheduler. To schedule a control group backup, perform the following steps:

  1. Type WRKCTLGBRM at a command line and press Enter.

    The Command to run field identifies the command that processes the control group you added to the scheduler. In this case, BRMS uses the STRBKUBRM CTLGRP(*SYSTEM) SBMJOB(*NO) command.

  3. At the Scheduled time parameter, specify the time on the scheduled date that you want the job submitted.
  4. Review or change the other parameters as needed.
  5. Press Enter to apply your changes.
