After the Installation

Do the following after the successful installation of BRMS:

• Reload the latest cumulative program temporary fix (PTF) compact disk to ensure that all of the BRMS-related fixes are in place. If you recently loaded and applied the latest cumulative (CUM) PTF prior to installing BRMS, you will need to load and apply the BRMS-related PTFs after BRMS is installed.
• You may also want to load the latest Save and Restore Group PTFs. You can access the latest PTFs through the Backup and recovery solution group PTFs Web site.
• Verify that the Allow user domain objects in user libraries (QALWUSRDMN) system value is set to *ALL, which is the default shipped value. This value allows user domain objects in libraries. It also determines which libraries on the system may contain the user domain objects *USRSPC (user space), *USRIDX (user index), and *USRQ (user queue). If you do not set the system value to *ALL, you must add the QBRM and QUSRBRM libraries to the list of libraries that are shown on the QALWUSRDMN display. You can use the Work with System Values (WRKSYSVAL) command to verify the QALWUSRDMN system value.
• Review the job log to ensure that the installation completed successfully. Use the Display Job Log (DSPJOBLOG) command to review the job log.
• Verify the BRMS post installation product initialization job completed successfully by looking for this message in the QSYSOPR job log:

  CPF1241 - Job nnnnnn/userid/BRMSPRDINZ completed normally on date at time.

  When you install the BRMS product, message BRM40A8 is added to the job log to help you identify the job and the batch job queue which will run the BRMS product initialization. If the job is still running or the job is still being held, you can run the following command to retrieve an approximation of the time required to complete the initialization.

  INZBRM OPTION(*ESTPRDINZ)

  Note:

  BRMS will not be available to monitor media operations or be able to track native save operations until BRMS product initialization is complete. It is important to minimize these activities on the system until BRMS product initialization has completed. It is also recommended you perform a full system save including a save of the BRMS media information after product initialization.

  If the BRMS product initialization job could not be submitted to the batch queue for any reason, message BRM40AA is added to the install job log. However, this message will not terminate the install process and the install should still complete successfully. If you receive this message, then you need to run BRMS product initialization using the following command:

  INZBRM OPTION(*RUNPRDINZ)

  The following are some of the tasks completed during product initialization.

  • Creates the QBRM and QUSRBRM libraries, which contain all BRMS-related objects and information.
  • Creates or updates tape drive and media class entries based on the installed tape devices.
  • Creates or updates default BRMS objects.
  • Converts all BRMS database files to the current format.
  • Registers BRMS with the MSE feature of i5/OS.
  If you cannot find job BRMSPRDINZ in the job queues and BRMS commands and menus are still locked, you can run the following command to complete BRMS product initialization.

  INZBRM OPTION(*RUNPRDINZ)

• If you installed the BRMS Network feature, follow the instructions to add this system to the network as documented in the section A Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Your BRMS Network.
• Re-register any programs you may have registered to the following BRMS exits.

  QIBM_A1A_TAPE_MOVE
  QIBM_A1A_RETR_INF
