Creating your own BRMS control group to save user data to the cloud

Steps

• Make sure you have the latest BRMS PTF  
• Make sure you have 5733ICC installed and current on PTFs using this doc:
    Installing cloud storage solutions for i

• Use this doc to create and test a cloud resource:
  Cloud Storage solutions for i - Using CPYTOCLD & CPYFRMCLD to copy data to and from the cloud
• After resource is created and tested, run INZBRM *DATA to create BRMS objects including default control groups.

• Do a WRKCTLGBRM, locate the QCLDBSYS0x control group with a media policy of the same name as the ICC source you just created.  Normally this will be QCLDBSYS01 unless you have created multiple ICC resources.
• Use option 3 to make a copy of the control group QCLDBSYS0x, name it QCLDUxxxxx.  The prefix QCLDU must be used, you can use whatever you want for the last 5 characters.  For this test I will call the control group QCLDU_TEST, leave other parms to default:
  
• Take option 2 on control group QCLDU_TEST, blank out all sequence numbers between the first and the last:
  
• When you press enter you should be left with this:
  
• Insert sequence 15 to add the library you want to add
  
• Press enter and it will resequence your items:
  
• Add additional sequences as needed.

• Use this command to execute the backup:
  STRBKUBRM CTLGRP(QCLDU_TEST) SBMJOB(*NO)
  If you are backing up a lot of data, you may want to use SBMJOB(*YES).  You should get a message that the backup completed successfully.
• To verify the media was transferred to the cloud, use this command:
  WRKSTSICC RSCTYPDSC(*ALL) STATUS(*ALL)
  
  Notice the volume number Q12417.  That is the volume in BRMS. 
• You should now see this volume in the cloud.  For COS, it will look like this in your bucket:
