Centralized Media Report

This report is run via BRMS maintenance (STRMNTBRM) and creates a report (QP1ASYN) .Media attributes for the systems specified will be compared to the local system's media attributes to
verify they are the same. If differences are found, they will be noted in the 'Shared Media Audit Report'. An audit report will be created for each of the specified systems using printer file QP1ASYN.

When running an audit of the networked media, BRMS does not do any updates. The report created will only list volumes that are not in sync with other systems.

The following is an explanation of what the values at the end of the spooled file mean:

Volumes in error: This is the number of missing volumes from the system running this on the system checking <----indicates a network problem (the volumes are listed above in the listing).
Volumes updated: Zero. This will always set to zero (0) now, as BRMS no longer updates volumes that are not in sync.
Volumes not updated: This is the number of volumes that should be fixed by the user and indicate a network problem (the volumes are listed above in the listing).
Total volumes checked: This is the total number of volumes listed in WRKMEDBRM.

NOTES

Shared media attribute auditing is skipped if the local system is in restricted state or the remote systems required to complete the audit are not available/offline
Using GO BRMS option 12, Option 51 is the recommended way to print these reports and the QP1ASYN spooled file is sent to output queue QPRINT.
When running STRMNTBRM with AUDSYSMED(*NETGRP) or AUDSYSMED(sys_name) and of these parameters are set to *YES, the reports created will not be correct

- Expire media set volumes - EXPSETMED
