If the first entry in a control group is an *EXIT, it is processed before any subsystem or job queue processing is done during pre-processing for the STRBKUBRM
command. Note: The Weekly Activity field for the first entry must indicate that it will run, otherwise it will be ignored and if the next entry is an active *EXIT, it will be treated as a pre-processing *EXIT entry.
If the last entry in a control group is an *EXIT, it is processed after any subsystem or job queue processing is done during post-processing for the STRBKUBRM
command. Note: The Weekly Activity field for the last entry must indicate that it will run, otherwise it will be ignored and if the previous entry is an active *EXIT, it will be treated as a post-processing *EXIT entry.
BRMS provides control groups that can be used for Lotus Domino Server related backups (see the example below for control group QLTSSVR). These BRMS provided control groups contain empty *EXIT entries that cause the SAVDOMBRM *EXIT
entries to be run after pre-processing and before post-processing. The empty *EXIT entries can be changed to do any needed pre-processing and post-processing but they should not be used for save operations such as SAVDOMBRM
.
NOTE: The SAVTYPE parameter on the SAVDOMBRM
command in an *EXIT entry of a control group should not be specified, it will be set as needed by BRMS.
Seq | Backup Items | Weekly Activity SMTWTFS | Exit command |
---|---|---|---|
10 | *EXIT | *DFTACT | |
20 | *EXIT | *DFTACT | SAVDOMBRM SERVER(DOM1) CTLGRP(QLTSSVR) |
30 | *EXIT | *DFTACT | SAVDOMBRM SERVER(DOM2) CTLGRP(QLTSSVR) |
40 | *EXIT | *DFTACT |
You can specify files and directories to be omitted from the save on the SAVDOMBRM
command. The rules for specifying the objects to omit are:
Examples
SAVDOMBRM
command: OMIT(('Mail/*'))WRKDOMSVR
, then option 12 against the server in question (this option will display a Work with Object Links screen). The list of files and directories are displayed with the case sensitivity that would be used if specifying them on the OMIT parameter of the SAVDOMBRM
command.SAVDOMBRM
: OMIT(('Mail/aB*'))
