Copying Lotus Server Control Groups

The backup control groups that are created by BRMS for online backup on Lotus® servers include one or more *EXIT entries which contain the Save Domino® Server using BRMS (SAVDOMBRM) command. The control group (CTLGRP) parameter on this command needs to be changed for each entry if one of these control groups is copied to another control group. The value for the CTLGRP parameter must contain the same name as the control group it is contained in. This is required because the Domino application uses the Save Object using BRM (SAVBRM) command to perform the backup of the Lotus servers and must be able to specify the correct backup control group name on the CTLGRP parameter of the SAVBRM command.

Failure to change the CTLGRP parameter to match the backup control group name will result in an exception when the control group is run.

Assume you copied the QLTSSVR backup control group to a new backup control group named MYLTSSVR. The exits at sequence 20 and 30 below are examples of invalid SAVDOMBRM entries because the CTLGRP parameter on the command does not match the name of the MYLTSSVR backup control group. QLTSSVR must be changed to MYLTSSVR in this backup control group for the backup to complete successfully.
