Comments on: Omitting a User object when using BRMS

Perhaps I was doing it wrong but my tests still didn’t omit the single object I’m interested in from the backup of the library in question.

However, I read somewhere else that this can be done via iSeries Navigator and this is true.

Having checked BRMS and the file desription afterwards the object isn’t now being backed up.

Thanks all for your help

You can omit objects to back up by GO BRMS, Option 2 Backup, Option 1 Backup planning, Option 2. Work with backup control groups, then F24 for more options and F10=Work with items to omit from backup. Work with Items to Omit from Backup Type options, press Enter. 1=Add 4=Remove Opt Type Backup item *ALLUSR QGPL *ALLUSR QUSRSYS *ALLUSR SNAPSHOT Bottom F3=Exit F5=Refresh F12=Cancel In this case we omit from the *ALLUSR backup QGPL and QUSRSYS as these are backed up seperately from the *ALLUSR without Save While Active. This applies to all backups and not just one group (DAILY). We also omit a product library called SNAPSHOT as it is not critical and runs 24 x 7 to collect perfromance information. Hope this helps.

Thanks that’s useful to know but we currently kick off the backup in ‘wrkjobscde’ by using the command ‘STRBKUBRM CTLGRP(DAILY)’ so we’re using control groups to run backup lists and I couldn’t find a way of omitting an object at this level.
