Processing the STRMNTBRM Command in a Backup Control Group

You can also set the STRMNTBRM command to run as the last step on the last backup control group of the day. You can do that by submitting a batch job that uses an *EXIT in the backup control group. To put the command in an exit, take the following steps:

1. Type WRKCTLGBRM at a command line and press Enter.
2. You can add an *EXIT to an existing control group, or you can create an entirely new control group. As appropriate, go to either the Create Backup Control Group Entries display (option 1), or to the Edit Backup Control Group Entries display (option 2).
3. Type *EXIT in the Backup items field as the last entry in the control group. Place your cursor on the word *EXIT and press F11 (Display exits).
4. Then press F10 (Change item). This takes you to the User Exit Maintenance display.

5. At this display, type STRMNTBRM in the Command field and press Enter. The STRMNTBRM command will now process at the end of this control group.

To ensure that the STRMNTBRM does not process until the control group has completed, you should hold the batch job queue for the duration of the control group processing. Use the Change Control Group Attributes display to hold the batch job queue.
