Movement by Control Group

You can also move media by control group. Control groups consist of groups of libraries, objects, folders, spooled files, and other types of data that share common characteristics. You can create move patterns for control groups in the move policy that is associated with the media policy for that control group. You can find more detailed information about control groups in Tailoring Your Backup.

To use a move policy with a control group, take the following steps:

  1. Create the move policy, including the move pattern, that you want to use with the control group.
  2. Go to the Change Backup Control Group Attributes display that is associated with the control group you want to move. Note the name of the media policy you use in the control group.
  3. Use the WRKPCYBRM *MED command to get to the Work with Media Policies display.
  4. Type a 2 (Change) in front of the media policy that is associated with the control group you want to move and press Enter.
  5. Put your cursor in the field next to the Move policy parameter. Press F4 for a list of available move policies.
  6. Select the move policy you just created for the control group you want to move.
  7. Press Enter to save your changes and to return to the Work with Media Policies display.

BRMS tracks the movement of the media on which it saved the control group through the move pattern you created in the move policy.
