When adding a new system into a BRMS network, one of the main network settings involved is the BRMS Media Information. The original BRMS design managed the default setting for the Local Receives and Remote Receives BRMS Media Information values. The only way to change the default settings was after the system had been added into the BRMS network which was time consuming when dealing with a large number of systems in a BRMS network. The BRMS add network system process has been enhanced to allow users to set the preferred BRMS Media Information values in 5770-BR1 7.3 and later with the following PTFs:

• 7.5 SI81688

• 7.4 SI81687

• 7.3 SI81686

When adding a new system there are 2 fields associated with the BRMS Media Information that can be set, the Local Receives and Remote Receives. The Local Receives values is the setting for the current system that already exists in the BRMS network that is being used to add a new system to. The Remote receives is the setting for the new system that is being added into the existing BRMS network.

To enable the add network system enhancement, the preferred BRMS Media Information values need to be set prior to selecting the Option 1 (Add) function on the Change Network Group panel. 

Setup Procedure

Set the preferred BRMS Media Information values on the existing Networked system where you are adding the new system from.

STEP 1:

Setup Local receives - *LIB / Remote Receives - *NONE

In 5770-BR1 7.3 and 7.4 run the following commands:

CALL QBRM/Q1AOLD PARM('SETUPFUN  ' '*SET    ' 'Q1ARCVLIB ' '*SYS')   

CALL QBRM/Q1AOLD PARM('SETUPFUN  ' '*SET    ' 'Q1ARMTNONE ' '*SYS') 

In 5770-BR2 7.4, 5770-BR2 7.5, and 5770-BR1 7.5 run the following commands:

SETFCNBRM ACTION(*ADD) FUNCTION(LCLRCVLIB) SCOPE(*SYS)

SETFCNBRM ACTION(*ADD) FUNCTION(RMTRCVNONE) SCOPE(*SYS)

Setup Local receives - *LIB / Remote Receives - *LIB

In 5770-BR1 7.3 and 7.4 run the following commands:

CALL QBRM/Q1AOLD PARM('SETUPFUN  ' '*SET    ' 'Q1ARCVLIB ' '*SYS')   

CALL QBRM/Q1AOLD PARM('SETUPFUN  ' '*SET    ' 'Q1ARMTLIB ' '*SYS') 

In 5770-BR2 7.4, 5770-BR2 7.5, and 5770-BR1 7.5 run the following commands:

SETFCNBRM ACTION(*ADD) FUNCTION(LCLRCVLIB) SCOPE(*SYS)

SETFCNBRM ACTION(*ADD) FUNCTION(RMTRCVLIB) SCOPE(*SYS)

Setup Local receives - *NONE / Remote Receives - *LIB

In 5770-BR1 7.3 and 7.4 run the following commands:

CALL QBRM/Q1AOLD PARM('SETUPFUN  ' '*SET    ' 'Q1ARCVNONE ' '*SYS')   

CALL QBRM/Q1AOLD PARM('SETUPFUN  ' '*SET    ' 'Q1ARMTLIB ' '*SYS') 

In 5770-BR2 7.4, 5770-BR2 7.5, and 5770-BR1 7.5 run the following commands:

SETFCNBRM ACTION(*ADD) FUNCTION(LCLRCVNONE) SCOPE(*SYS)

SETFCNBRM ACTION(*ADD) FUNCTION(RMTRCVLIB) SCOPE(*SYS)

Setup Local receives - *NONE / Remote Receives - *NONE

In 5770-BR1 7.3 and 7.4 run the following commands:

CALL QBRM/Q1AOLD PARM('SETUPFUN  ' '*SET    ' 'Q1ARCVNONE ' '*SYS')   

CALL QBRM/Q1AOLD PARM('SETUPFUN  ' '*SET    ' 'Q1ARMTNONE ' '*SYS') 

In 5770-BR2 7.4, 5770-BR2 7.5, and 5770-BR1 7.5 run the following commands:

SETFCNBRM ACTION(*ADD) FUNCTION(LCLRCVNONE) SCOPE(*SYS)

SETFCNBRM ACTION(*ADD) FUNCTION(RMTRCVNONE) SCOPE(*SYS)

STEP 2:

Refer to the BRMS User Guide, Chapter 14 Networking with BRMS (or the IBM i Knowledge Center page Networking with BRMS) for instructions on how to set up a BRMS network. 

How to view current settings:

In 5770-BR1 7.3 and 7.4 to display what the current setting is run the following command:

CALL QBRM/Q1AOLD PARM('SETUPFUN ' '*DISPLAY' '*ALL' '*SYS') 

In 5770-BR2 7.4, 5770-BR2 7.5, and 5770-BR1 7.5 to display what the current setting is run the following command:

DSPFCNBRM FUNCTION(*ALL)  then press F10 to see the detailed results.
