Understanding the STRRCYBRM Parameters

On the STRRCYBRM display, you can select the items you want to recover and the saves from which you want them restored. The STRRCYBRM command bases its restores on the save date and time entries in the media content information that best match your restore specifications. The STRRCYBRM command always restores from the most recent full save of the specified item that precedes the date and time parameters you specify.

To get to the Start Recovery using BRM display, take the following steps:

1. Type STRRCYBRM from a command line and press F4 to prompt the display. This takes you to the initial STRRCYBRM display.

   Following are brief summaries of the key parameters on this display:

   • At the Option parameter, you need to specify the kind of recovery you want BRMS to perform. The default value for this parameter is *SYSTEM, which instructs BRMS to recover your entire system. You can change this value to specify a number of saved items to recover, including product and user libraries, control groups, and integrated file system data. Press F1 (Help) to prompt a list of the items you can recover from this parameter.
   • At the Action parameter, you need to specify whether you want BRMS to generate recovery reports (*REPORT) or perform a restore (*RESTORE). The default value for this parameter is *REPORT, so when you want BRMS to perform a recovery, you need to change this value to *RESTORE.
   • At the Time period for recovery parameters, specify a range of save dates and times between which BRMS should perform the restore. For example, when you select beginning and ending dates and times, you instruct BRMS to restore items that were saved only during those periods.
   • If you are using the BRMS Network feature, you can use the From system parameter to create recovery reports for other networked systems, or to view and recover one or more of the saved items from a networked system to the local system. Refer to Networking with BRMS for additional information about setting up and using the BRMS Network feature. If you are recovering the local system, use the default value for this field, *LCL, which instructs BRMS to use the system currently in use.
3. Become familiar with the remaining parameters on this command and change them as needed to suit the type of recovery you want to perform.
4. Press Enter to begin the recovery.
