<p>The Dump BRM (DMPBRM) command saves BRMS files and related files to assist IBM support personnel in problem determination. You can specify various levels of detail and one or more job logs to dump. This command saves various files from QUSRBRM and related system files (depending on the specified level) to a device or save file. This information is used in problem determination by your technical representative. Processing this command should be done in conjunction with this representative.
</p>
<p>To use this command, you must have the Backup Recovery and Media Services for iSeries, 5722-BR1, licensed program installed.

</p>

<h3>Target release (TGTRLS)</h3>
<p>Specifies the release of the operating system on which you intend to restore the objects being saved.
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b><u>*CURRENT</u></b></dt>
<dd>The objects are to be restored on a system that is running the same release of the operating system currently running on your system. For example, if V5R2M0 is running on the system, *CURRENT means that you intend to restore the objects on a system with V5R2M0 installed. The objects can also be restored on a system with any subsequent release of the operating system installed.
</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><b>*PRV</b></dt>
<dd>The objects are to be restored on a system that is running on the previous release with modification level 0 of the operating system. For example if V5R2M0 is running on your system, *PRV means you intend to restore the objects on a system with V5R1M0 installed. The object can also be restored on a system with any subsequent release of the operating system installed.
<p>
<b>Note: </b>Not all objects can be targeted to another release. Objects that are new to a release typically cannot be saved to a previous release.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><b><i>target-release</i></b></dt>
<dd>Specify the release in the format VxRxMx, where Vx is the version, Rx is the release, and Mx is the modification level. For example, V5R2M0 is version 5, release 2, modification level 0.
<p>The objects can be restored on a system with the specified release or with any subsequent release of the operating system installed.
</p>
<p>
<b>Note: </b>Not all objects can be targeted to another release. Objects that are new to a release typically cannot be saved to a previous release.
</p>
<p>Valid values depend on the current version, release, and modification level, and they change with each new release. If you specify a release-level that is earlier than the earliest release level supported by this command, an error message is sent indicating the earliest supported release.

<h3>Dump device (DMPDEV)</h3>
<p>Specifies a device or devices for which you would like to get diagnostic information. When specified, BRMS invokes the QTADMPDV API to gather this information using the special value *SPLF as the problem identifier.

<b>Note: </b>When an *APPC or *NET type device is specified for this parameter, BRMS will dump the save/restore flight recorder.
