When saving spooled files using BRMS, how they are saved can affect the restore performance.  To get the best restore performance, Saving Spooled Files Using a QALLSPLF *OBJ List is recommended to save all spooled files that can be restored when migrating to new hardware or in case of a full system restore.

Note: In PTFs 7.3 SI68568 and 7.2 SI68567 BRMS creates an QALLSPLF *OBJ list. 

  1. Use the STRRCYBRM OPTION(*CTLGRP) ACTION(*RESTORE) CTLGRP((control-group-name)) for the recovery.
  2. Change the recovery defaults , Option F9, to Restore spooled file data = *NEW

This is the optimized way to restore all spooled files.
