<p>The Start Maintenance for BRM (STRMNTBRM) command performs various BRMS maintenance and clean-up functions. The STRMNTBRM command can be scheduled to process periodically either by manual submission or inclusion in an automatic job scheduler.
</p>
<p>The STRMNTBRM command processes several other commands that can be run separately. These include:
</p>
<ul>
<li>RMVMEDIBRM - Remove media information from BRM
</li>
<li>MOVMEDBRM - Move media using BRM
</li>
<li>STREXPBRM - Expire media from BRM
</li>
<li>RMVLOGEBRM - Remove BRM log entries
</li>
<li>WRKMEDIBRM - Work with media information
</li>
<li>STRRCYBRM - Recovery analysis
</li>
</ul>
<p>The STRMNTBRM produces multiple reports depending on the print options you select as well as the current conditions that it detects. For instance, the Centralized Media Audit report will not print if you are not using a clustered network environment in BRMS. Listed below are the printer files and associated reports that can be produced when the STRMNTBRM command processes:
</p>
<ul>
<li>QP1AVER - Version Control
</li>
<li>QP1AEP - Media Expiration
</li>
<li>QP1AMM - Media Report by Expiration Date
</li>
<li>QP1AHS - Media Information
</li>
<li>QP1ALE - Save Strategy Exceptions
</li>
<li>QP1ARCY - Recovering Your Entire System
</li>
<li>QP1AASP - Display ASP Information
</li>
<li>QP1ARW - Recovery Activities
</li>
<li>QP1A2SL - Location Analysis
</li>
<li>QP1ASYN - Centralized Media Audit
</li>
<li>QP1A2RCY - Recovery Volume Summary
</li>
</ul>
<p>To use this command, you must have the Backup Recovery and Media Services for iSeries, 5722-BR1, licensed program installed.
</p>
<p><b>Restrictions: </b>
</p>
<ol>
<li>This command should not be used by control group *EXIT item processing as results will be unpredictable.
</li>
<li>All object authority is required to run this command.
</li>
<li>This command should not be run as a remote command.
</li>
<li>Depending on the size of your media inventory, this command can take a long time to process.
</li>
<li>This command should be run as an independent job. No other BRMS functions should be active when the STRMNTBRM command is processing.
</li>
<li>Reorganizing the BRMS database files can be a long running process requiring additional disk storage. Reorganization will occur on all BRMS data base files. Reorganization of files may be skipped if sufficient disk storage is not available, or if the file has no members or records.
</li>
</ol>

<h3>Expire media set volumes (EXPSETMED)</h3>
<p>Specifies whether to expire media set volumes when the STRMNTBRM command processes. This will cause media that are members of media sets to expire even if there is unexpired media with active file sequences at subsequent positions in the set. This allows the media to be reused prior to expiration of the set and reduces the number of active media being managed. By default, BRMS will not expire media in a set prior to unexpirable media unless the entire set can be expired.

<b>Note: </b>Expiring all eligible media in a set can reduce the size of the set or create two or more new sets.

<h3>Remove media information (RMVMEDI)</h3>
<p>Specifies what information to remove from the BRMS media content inventory and how long to keep object detail. The RMVMEDIBRM command is used by the STRMNTBRM command to accomplish BRMS media content information removal. The <b>Media contents (MEDCON)</b> parameter indicates when media content information is removed from the media content information and the <b>Object level detail (OBJDTL)</b> parameter indicates when the object level detail is to be removed.
</p>
<p><b>Element 1: Media contents </b>
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b><u>*EXP</u></b></dt>
<dd>All BRMS media media content information entries that have an expiration date that is equal to or less than the current date are removed from the media content inventory.
</dd>
<dt><b>*NONE</b></dt>
<dd>No media content information is to be removed from the media content information inventory when the STRMNTBRM command is run.
</dd>
<dt><b>*REUSE</b></dt>
<dd>Media content information associated with a volume is not removed from the media content inventory file until the volume is re-used, even though the volume has already expired.
</dd>
</dl>
<p><b>Element 2: Object level detail </b>
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b><u>*MEDCON</u></b></dt>
<dd>Object detail is removed when media content information is removed.
</dd>
<dt><b><i>number-of-days</i></b></dt>
<dd>Specify the number of days that object detail is kept in the media content inventory. If this number of days is greater than the number of days implied in the <b>Media contents </b>field, such as the volume expires in 60 days and you specify 90 days for the <b>Object level detail </b>, the value has no effect since object detail is always removed when media content information is removed. However, if you specify 45 days and the object expires in 60 days, the object level detail is removed 15 days before other media content information is removed.

</p>
<dl>
<dt><b><u>180</u></b></dt>
<dd>Migration information is removed from the migration information history after 180 days.
</dd>
<dt><b>*NONE</b></dt>
<dd>Migration information is not removed from the migration information history.
</dd>
<dt><b><i>number-of-days</i></b></dt>
<dd>Specify the number of days after which migration information is considered old and no longer useful. For instance, if you specified 200, migration information older than 200 days would be removed from the migration information history when the STRMNTBRM command was processed. You can specify from 1 to 9999 days.

<h3>Remove log entries (RMVLOGE)</h3>
<p>Specifies whether to remove log entries when the STRMNTBRM command is run. You can specify the type of log entries that you want to remove and a date range of log entries. The RMVLOGEBRM command is processed by the STRMNTBRM command to remove log entries.
</p>
<p>
<b>Note: </b>Using this parameter, it is possible to enter a date with no separator, or a number of days which can be up to 5 digits in length. For instance, if you are using month/day/year format, the number 12904 would be formatted as January 29, 2004. If on the other hand, you entered a number 13904, BRMS assume that this is not a date, but rather is a number. BRMS always tries to calculate a calendar date first when a number is entered and then if the date it calculates is not valid, assumes that it is a number of days. If the number that is entered is over 5 digits and the date that it calculates is not valid, you receive an error message.

<h3>Reorganize BRMS data base (RGZBRMDB)</h3>
<p>Use this parameter to reorganize the BRMS database. This option removes deleted records from the BRMS database. You should reorganize the BRMS database on a periodic basis, particularly if you save many objects and save with object detail.

Reorganization will occur on the BRMS media inventory, media information (history) and object detail. BRMS may skip reorganization of the database if sufficient disk storage is not available, or if the database has no members or records.
