Using the BRCOM Command

Interface

This section describes the BRCOM command interface.

Security

BRCOM uses the NonStop security, based on the logon user ID. The data

management application (DMA) process and other Backup and Restore 2 components

adopt the user ID that you used to log on. BRCOM runs in a Guardian environment.

You can use Safeguard user ID aliases. You cannot log on using the scalar view of the

user ID.
