JT400 - Work with Media Information (WRKMEDIBRM)

Does anyone know how to work with AS400 media ( Tapes ) in JT400 Java. I need to get the tape details via a Java program. ( WRKMEDIBRM )

Thanks Buddhika

Solution

  • Note that Backup, Recovery, and Media Services (BRMS) is a separately install-able and chargeable product.

    That being said, BRMS does have it own set of APIs

    However, JT400 doesn't include any specific functionality for interacting with the BRMS product.

    A quick glance through the BRMS APIs seems to show that they all use a (OPM) *PGM interface. So JT400's ProgramCall class would be sufficient to call them.

    EDIT
    JT400 also has a CommandCall class , but it's only useful for commands that don't invoke a program with a interactive UI. So for example, you couldn't call WRKSYSSTS as mentioned in your comment.

    For interacting with BRMS, the best option would be using it's APIs and teh ProgramCall class.
