APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-------------------------------------------------
It is important to keep all systems in a BRMS network at the
same level of BRMS PTFs.
Fixes included in this PTF may reference enhancements. More
information on these enhancements can be found on the BRMS web
page:
www.ibm.com/developerworks/ibmi/brms
Additionally also review the media web page:
www.ibm.com/developerworks/ibmi/media

Fixes in this PTF:
1. Internal enhancement.
2. In 7.2 and later, backups with multiple tape drives under a
user-defined MLB may incorrectly request active volumes to
continue when spanning volumes.
3. In 7.1 and later, WRKMEDBRM has been enhanced to support a
TYPE of *FULL which will show all active full volumes.
4. In 7.2 and later, backup control group saves of *ALLPROD and
*ALLTEST may post MSGCPF9810 for iASP libraries if SETASPGRP is
not called before the saves.
5. In 7.1 and later, WRKMEDiBRM may post MSGRNQ1255 when using
page up and page down.
6. In 7.1 and later, BRMS saves may incorrectly post MSGBRM0004
with RC=06.
7. In 7.1 and later, BRMS has been enhanced to support Flashcopy
time for *SYSBAS.
8. In 7.1 and later, backup control group incremental saves of
*ALLUSR may incorrectly save some libraries more than once.
9. In 7.1 and later, WRKMEDBRM option 13 or WRKMEDIBRM for an
expired volume may fail with MSGMCH1202.
10. In 7.1 and later, If a multi-volume set is expired using
CHGMEDBRM and then activated again, DUPMEDBRM of the volume set
may post MSGCPF6734.
11. In 7.1 and later, backup control group does not use the
correct media policy for incremental backup items if the
previous sequences in the control group are *SAVCFG or
*SAVSECDTA.
12. In 7.1 and later, WRKMEDIBRM START(*LAST) may incorrectly
show  "Bottom" . Paging down may show additional saved history.
13. In 7.1 and later, remote DUPMEDBRM VOL(*SCHHST) FROMSYS()
may not remove the marked for duplication flag on the source
system for spanned history records.
14. In 7.1 and later, the BRMS recovery report (QP1ARCY) may not
always list the latest save.

CORRECTION FOR APAR 'SE67950' :
-------------------------------
Load and apply this PTF.

Note: When loading BRMS PTFs, the system needs to be out of
FlashCopy mode for the PTF to apply.
To verify the FlashCopy status of a system is *END, enter the
following command:
CALL PGM(QBRM/Q1AOLD) PARM('FLSSYSSTS ' '*DISPLAY')

After the BRMS PTF is installed, do the following to enable the
BRMS plug-in for the IBM Systems Director Navigator for i5/OS
(web browser) or System i Navigator windows client.

Enable the BRMS plug-in for the IBM Systems Director Navigator
for i5/OS.
==== V6R1 and newer only:
Note:  ending the http admin servers may affect other non-BRMS
users.
From System i:
1. Enter the command to end the http admin servers:
ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(*ADMIN)
2. Wait for the http admin server jobs to end or terminate
them.
Use command:  WRKACTJOB SBS(QHTTPSVR)
3. Restart the http admin servers:
STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(*ADMIN)


----------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------

Enable the BRMS plug-in for System i Navigator Windows/OS
client.
==== Pre-V6R1:
1) Close the System i Navigator application.
2) On the client/PC, uninstall the BRMS plug-in using the
Client

Access Express "Selective Setup" utility:  from the
Windows
"Start", select
"Programs->IBM iSeries Access for Windows->Selective
Setup".

Follow the instructions on the dialogs to uninstall the
BRMS

plug-in.  Notes:
a) On the second dialog, select the radio button "Ignore.
I'm
only going to UN-install components".
b) On the next screen, "Component Selection", open the
System i Navigator folder; a list of all installed
System i Navigator components and plug-ins is displayed.
c) Deselect the BRMS plug-in to uninstall it (if you do
not
see the BRMS plug-in, it was not properly installed);
reboot the PC if requested.
3) Start System i Navigator.
4) Use the System i Navigator "Install Options->Install
Plug-in"
action. This action is available from the main iSeries
Navigator "File" menu and the "My Connections" folder
context/pop-up menu.  When prompted for the iSeries system
to install from, select the iSeries that has the new BRMS
PTF installed.

=== V6R1 and newer:
1) Close the System i Navigator application.
2) Open a Windows Command Prompt screen.
3) Enter the following command:
cwbinplg /REMOVE=IBM.BRMSPlugin
4) On the client/PC, start the iSeries Navigator.
5) Use the System i Navigator "Install Options->Install
Plug-in"
action. This action is available from the main System i
Navigator "File" menu and the "My Connections" folder
context/pop-up menu.  When prompted for the iSeries system
to install from, select the iSeries that has the new BRMS
PTF installed.
