Set Number of Days to Retain BRMS Journal Receivers

Detached journal receivers owned by BRMS are deleted after five days when the Start Maintenance for BRM (STRMNTBRM) command is run.

If it is necessary to keep the detached journal receivers longer than five days, data area QUSRBRM/Q1APRM can be changed to indicate how many days BRMS will wait before deleting the detached journal receivers by running the following command:

CHGDTAARA DTAARA(QUSRBRM/Q1APRM (201 2)) VALUE('xx')

where xx is a number in days, for example '05'

To determine how many days BRMS will wait before deleting the detached journal receivers use the following command to display data area QUSRBRM/Q1APRM:

DSPDTAARA DTAARA(QUSRBRM/Q1APRM)

The following is information shows how many days BRMS will wait before deleting the detached journal receivers, highlighted in red:
