When saving spooled files using BRMS, how they are saved can affect the restore performance. To get the best restore performance, Saving Spooled Files Using a QALLSPLF *OBJ List is recommended 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.
- Use the
STRRCYBRM OPTION(*CTLGRP) ACTION(*RESTORE) CTLGRP((control-group-name))for the recovery. - Change the recovery defaults , Option F9, to Restore spooled file data = *ALL
This is the optimized way to restore all spooled files. If performance is not an issue, Saving Spooled Files Using a QALLSPLF *SPL List is another option for saving and restoring spooled files.
