Resolving The Problem

Most system data cannot be saved to a TSM server using BRMS. After loading PTFs SI36193 (V5R4M0) or SI36197 (V6R1M0) or their superseding PTFs, system libraries are allowed to be specified in a control group but will be prohibited by Save/Restore code during the save. Here is a list of user library values BRMS will explicitly prohibit for TSM saves:

Q1ABRMSF*
QBRM
QGPL
QMSE
QSYS2
QUSRBRM
QUSRSYS
*IBM
*LOAD
*QHST
*SAVCFG
*SAVSECDTA
*SAVSYS

The following commands are not allowed saving to a TSM Server:

o Save Media Information (SAVMEDIBRM).
o Save System using BRM (SAVSYSBRM).
o Save Save Files using BRM (SAVSAVFBRM).
o Duplicate Media using BRM (DUPMEDBRM).

Note: An attempt to use any of the above commands to a TSM device will fail with message BRM2235.
