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 wiki:
ibm.biz/ibmi-brms

Fixes in this PTF:
1. In 7.2 and later, RSTBRM may fail with MSGBRM1688.
2. In 7.2 and later, ANZLIBBRM may incorrectly report MSGCD3105
and MSGCPF9899.
3. In 7.2 and later, IFS backup outfile processing performance
has been improved.
4. In 7.2 and later, RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5770BR1) may fail with
MSGCPF3D95.
5. In 7.2 and later, BRMS has enhanced the INZBRM
OPTION(*FLASHCOPY) STATE(*STRPRC) processing to end the BRMS
Enterprise subsystem named Q1ABRMENT.
6. In 7.2 and later, BRMS has been enhanced to provide a Reclaim
Media (Q1ARCLMED) API to reclaim a single tape volume.
7. In 7.2 and later, STRMNTBRM may fail MSGCPF501B.
8. In 7.2 and later, the GUI Web Enterprise Feature and INZBRM
*VFYSYS may incorrectly report connection failures when using
secured DDM with mixed case passwords.
9. In 7.2 and later, BRMS restores running longer with the job
in MSGW and the call stack ending with Q1AMS and QMHRCVPM.
10. In 7.2 and later, DUPMEDBRM with the parameter
TOENDOPT(*UNLOAD) may not unload all of the target volumes.
11. In 7.2 and later, restoring *SAVSECDTA from a cloud backup
using STRRCYBRM or WRKMEDIBRM appears to be in a loop as it
repeats the restore 99 times.
12. In 7.2 and later, to display the cloud retain media
retention period, the following command can be run:
CALL PGM(QBRM/Q1AOLD) PARM('CLOUD ' 'RETAINDATA' 'S'
'mmmmmmmmmm' '*DSP')
where 'mmmmmmmmmm' is the move policy name
13. In 7.2 and later, changes were made in BRMS to address
potential security concerns. Existing user profiles used to
perform BRMS operations may require changes to allow proper
access by using the SETUSRBRM command with the USAGE(*AUT)
parameter option.  Note: *SECADM authority is required to use
the SETUSRBRM command.
14. In 7.4, upgrades with DSLO media may fail with MSGCPD377C
causing 5770SS1 option 3 to go into an *ERROR state.
