Reduce the time of a BRMS initialization after an upgrade to a newer release
This article contains some options for reducing the time required for BRMS to run the INZBRM OPTION(*RUNPRDINZ)
when upgrading a system from a lower release number to a higher release number.
NOTE: Only need perform this on 1st system and then use options 2 or 3 (below) for the others.
BRMS LPP Pre-Upgrade Steps (1st system)
On V5R4 right before the upgrade, need a good level of QUSRBRM saved to tape.
Steps 1-3 will help with any locks on BRMS objects and will make the DLTLIB easier.
