When saving spooled files via BRMS, how they are saved can affect the restore performance.  To get the best restore performance, it is recommended using the following method to save all spooled files that can be restored when migrating to new hardware or in case of a full system restore

Note: In PTFs 7.3 SI68568 and 7.2 SI68567 BRMS creates an QALLSPLF *OBJ list which eliminate the need for Steps 1 and 2. The QALLSPLF can be substituted in place of OUTQONLY in this example, if using the PTFs.

  1. Create an object list "OUTQONLY" that has just *OUTQ for type to include. (WRKLBRM)

  2. In 7.1 you will need to do specify A*, B*, C* etc. In 7.2 and above *ALLUSR can be specified (enhancement + object omits) to get them all or select libraries you what to save spooled files from

  3. Create a control group  called OUTQUES (WRKCTLGBRM)
  4. Set the control group with object detail set to *YES (optional, but creates a way to verify spooled files are saved)

  5. Set the control group attributes to Save spooled file data *ALL

  6. When doing a recovery, use STRRCYBRM using control group "OUTQUES and select all:
    • STRRCYBRM OPTION(*CTLGRP) ACTION(*RESTORE) CTLGRP((OUTQUES)) 
  7. Change the recovery defaults , Option F9, to Spool file data = *NEW
