The ASP for save files field in the media policy specifies the auxiliary storage pool (ASP) number in which you want to store save files created as a result of BRMS processing. Any valid auxiliary storage pool number between the range of 1–32 is permitted for specifying the auxiliary storage pool used to store save files. BRMS creates a library on the auxiliary storage pool which it uses to store the save files. The names of these libraries are Q1ABRMSF01 for the system auxiliary storage pool (1), Q1ABRMSF02 for basic user auxiliary storage pool 2, and so on. These save file libraries are not deleted from the system when you delete the BRMS product from the system.
You can also specify an auxiliary storage pool storage limit in the media policy as a percent of the total available auxiliary storage pool space. For instance, ninety percent in the auxiliary storage pool storage limit field indicates that save files can be written to the auxiliary storage pool until it reaches ninety percent utilization. When the limit is reached, a message is sent to the message queue designated in the system policy, indicating that the auxiliary storage pool storage limit has been exceeded. This gives you the opportunity to ignore, cancel or retry the save to save file operation. You can remedy the situation by using the SAVSAVFBRM command to moves files from save files to media or you can increase the auxiliary storage pool storage limit percent in the media policy and then retry the save to save files.
Individual save file names are generated automatically by BRMS based on the date/time stamp. BRMS manages its own save file environment. It is not important to know the save file names or the names of the libraries in which they reside.
