Save the QUSRBRM library using the command: SAVLIB LIB(QUSRBRM) DEV(tape_device) - The save of this library will protect you in the event you need to back off the installation. Delete product 5770-BR1 Note Product 5770-BR2 cannot be installed with product 5770-BR1 already installed. You must delete product 5770-BR1 and all its options using option 12 on the GO LICPGM menu or using the DLTLICPGM LICPGM(5770BR1) OPTION(*ALL) command. QUSRBRM is not removed when the product is deleted, do not delete library QUSRBRM. It is important to ensure no user created dependencies exist on BRMS files in QUSRBRM before upgrading BRMS. Use Display Database Relations (DSPDBR) on all physical and logical files in QUSRBRM to ensure only IBM® BRMS files are listed. If any other non-IBM dependencies exits, they need to be removed before starting an upgrade. SQL can be used to potentially find user created files in QUSRBRM: select * from table(qsys2.object_statistics('QUSRBRM', 'FILE')) x where OBJOWNER <> 'QBRMS' Install product 5770-BR2 Apply the latest BRMS PTFs
