Merging BRMS data to target system with no BRMS

This section describes how to move BRMS data from a donor system to a target system that does not have BRMS installed.

The merge operation basically consists of moving the BRMS data from the donor system to the target system and then installing the BRMS licensed program. The merge steps are:

Ensure all prerequisites for merging BRMS data are met.

On the donor system:

Verify you are signed on with a user profile with *SECOFR authority.

If donor system is part of a BRMS network group, use the following command to display the active records for this system:

   DSPPFM FILE(QUSRBRM/QA1ANET2)

Verify the QUSRBRM/QA1ANET2 file is empty as shown in the Display Physical File Member panel below.

                          Display Physical File Member                 
 File . . . . . . :   QA1ANET2            Library  . . . . :   QUSRBRM 
 Member . . . . . :   QA1ANET2                                         
                                                                       
                                                                       
 *...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7
                                                                       
   (Selected member contains no records)

This indicates that donor has no data to send across the current network. Should the QA1ANET2 file not be empty, refer to Checking BRMS network synchronization.

Save the QUSRBRM and Q1ABRMSF* libraries on donor system using the command:
```
   SAVLIB LIB(QUSRBRM Q1ABRMSF*) DEV(tape_device)
```

On the target system:
1. Verify you are signed on with a user profile with *SECOFR authority.
2. Restore the QUSRBRM and Q1ABRMSF* libraries on the target system using the command:
```
   RSTLIB LIB(QUSRBRM Q1ABRMSF*) DEV(tape_device) 
    ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) MBROPT(*ALL)
```
3. Hold the users batch job queue.
4. Install BRMS as outlined in Installing BRMS.
5. Load and apply all relevant PTFs.
6. Release the users batch job queue to allow the post-installation product initialization to complete.
7. If the target system has a different local location name, network ID, or system name than donor, transfer ownership of all BRMS data to the target system using the command:
```
   INZBRM OPTION(*CHGSYSNAM)
       PRVSYSNAM(netword-id.donor-system-name) 
       NEWSYSNAM(*LCL)  
```
