Changing the Volumes for All Jobs
Changing the BRJOBS Volume
If space is limited on $SYSTEM, you can use the ALTER CONFIG, BRJOBSVOLUME
command to create a new BRJOBS file on another volume. You cannot override the
BRJOBS volume for a particular job. Any job that is started uses the BRJOBS volume
configured in the BRCONFIG file when the job is started. To avoid losing all job history,
use FUP to retain it before you change the BRJOBS volume.
To change the BRJOBS volume:
1. Use the STATUS JOB command to check that there are no active jobs. Jobs with
the INIT, RUN, WAIT, CAT, or TERM job states are active.
BR> STATUS JOB * ;
2. If any jobs are active, you must wait for them to finish. Alternatively, you can use
the STOP or ABORT JOB commands to stop or abort the active jobs.
3. Copy the BRJOBS file from the current BRJOBSVOLUME to a new BRJOBS
volume. For example:
> FUP DUP $SYSTEM.ZBR2.BRJOBS, $newbrjobsvolume.ZBR2.BRJOBS
4. Secure the BRJOBS file. For example:
> FUP SECURE $newbrjobsvolume.ZBR2.BRJOBS, "aaoo"
5. Give the BRJOBS file to the proper owner. For example:
> FUP GIVE $newbrjobsvolume.ZBR2.BRJOBS, 255,255
