System Recovery

When you restore the entire system, the i5/OS operating system correctly establishes the receiver chains when the journals and journal receivers are restored to the system. You can then use one of the following commands to have BRMS assist you in applying journaled changes:

STRRCYBRM OPTION(*APYJRNCHG) JRN(*JRNLST)

or

STRRCYBRM OPTION(*APYJRNCHG) JRN((library-name/journal-name))

The first form of the command retrieves a list of journals in user libraries which BRMS has saved.

Note:
In order for BRMS to store information about saved journaled objects, journals and journal receivers, you must specify *MBR for Retain object detail on the BRMS save command or backup control group attributes.
Note:
BRMS does not save journal information for objects in libraries which begin with the letter Q or the # character. These are considered system libraries supplied by IBM program products.

The second form of the command allows you to specify up to 25 qualified names of journals to which you want to apply changes.

Either command takes you to the Work with Journals using BRMS display where you can view the status of the specified journals. From this panel you can select options to view the journal attributes and apply the journal changes. The Status column on the display indicates whether the journal exists on the system and can help you easily identify a missing journal.

When you specify 1=Apply journal changes next to a journal in the list, you are taken to the Apply Journal Changes using BRMS display which lists the journal receiver chain for the selected journal. The Status column on the display indicates the journal receiver status and can help you easily identify missing journal receivers.
