Reset QSECOFR User profile Before signing off or IPLing the system
1. Check that the QSECOFR User Profile password is known and that it is ENABLED. I will have been set by RSTAUT step. It should match what it was at the time of the backup used for the restore .
Prevent FTP from running on Startup
1. Issues can arise in a DR test when FTP processes start running for Inbound and Outbound FTP. As a temporary fix to this problem, rename your FTP commands as follows. This will cause FTP transmissions to abort
unsuccessfully.
RNMOBJ OBJ(QSYS/FTP) OBJTYPE(*CMD) NEWOBJ(DRFTP)
RNMOBJ OBJ(QSYS/STRTCPFTP) OBJTYPE(*CMD) NEWOBJ(DRRTCPFTP) 2. Also turn off the FTP server. Type: CFGTCP to access the “Configure TCP/IP”
main menu.
3. Take option 20: “Configure TCP/IP applications”
4. Take Option 10: “Change FTP attributes“ and change the Autostart Servers entry to *NO and press Enter.

Remove the BRMS network entries
If this is a DR test, the system will be loaded with a different DR name. To prevent it from sending the BRMS information back to the production
systems, please follow the steps to remove the BRMS network entries.
1. WRKPCYBRM *SYS, and OPTION 4
2. Delete all the entries with option 4 (If active, can’t be removed)
BSAFE Steps ??
Stop MPLUS from running
If this is a DR test, rename the mplus subsystem description so that it won’t start after the IPL.
Prevent ROBOT from running on Startup
Refer to the Appendix A for information on the job scheduler that is currently being used for this system.
Rename the RBTSLEEPER subsystem to OLDSLEEPER to prevent Robot
products from starting. Check with AS400 support as to the effect of starting
RBTSLEEPER once the system comes back online after the Final IPL.
Refer to the Appendix A, entitled “Production Details and special considerations”
for information on the job scheduler that is currently being used for this system.
Ensure that all regularly scheduled jobs remain on Hold as the system comes up.
Robot Schedule
If you are using Robot SCHEDULE, Subsystem RBTSLEEPER will have been renamed to restrict Robot products from executing commands.
IBM Job Scheduler
If you are using the Basic IBM Job Scheduler for this system, type the following commands:
STRSBS QSYSWRK. This is required in order to access the job scheduler.
WRKJOBSCDE OUTPUT(*PRINT) PRTFMT(*FULL)
WRKJOBSCDE OUTPUT(*PRINT) PRTFMT(*BASIC)
HLDJOBSCDE JOB(*ALL) ENTRYNBR(*ALL) or
WRKJOBSCDE and place all entries on hold manually.
Please make sure to bring the system back into the restricted status after this, otherwise the system will be accessable.
Review Job queues
Review all job queues and remove or hold old jobs
For QSPL job queue, you may see jobs which will require a ‘5’ to End the job *immed
Hold All Job Queues
1. To ensure that no jobs are submitted from the job queues, ensure all job queues are held.
2. Type, WRKJOBQ JOBQ(*ALL) and press enter.
3. Type option ‘3’ next to each job queue to hold them.
4. Release some system related jobqs, i.e. qsysnomax

Hold All Output Queues
1. Hold all output queues to ensure that no spool files are printed.
2. Type, WRKOUTQ OUTQ(*ALL) and press enter.
3. Type option ‘3’ next to each Output queue to hold them.
Hold All Distribution Queues
1. Ensure that all Distribution queues remain on Hold as the system comes up.
2. Type: WRKDSTQ and use option ‘3’ to place all Distribution queues on hold.
Hold Automatic Clean-up
Ensure that the regularly scheduled Automatic Cleanup is held. Type the
command: GO CLEANUP and use option ‘4’ to End cleanup. Then take option
‘1’ and on the cleanup display panel, change allow auto cleanup to ‘N’, if required.
Verify Relational Database Entries
1. Verify Relational database entries are correct for the *LOCAL system e.g. DR
system name.
2. Refer to Appendix Q, entitled “Relational Database Entries” for a list of the RDB entries configured on the Production system.
3. Type DSPRDBDIRE on each system.
Verify Network Attributes
Refer to the Appendices, DVD or \\caninf01corpge\brmsreports$ \SYSINF for the Original Network Attributes for this system. Use the CHGNETA command to change your Network Attributes
In a DR Test:
o Change the following to a unique name. i.e.: DRSYSABC:
Current system name
Local Control Point Name
Default Local Location
Network Server Domain
o Change the ‘LOCAL Network ID’ if required o Change ‘APPN Node Type’ if required
o Change ‘Allow Anynet Support’ to *NO when at DR Site
In a Production recovery, ensure the Network Attributes match those in the Appendices.

Check Ethernet Line
*NOTE: if this is a DR or migration environment, use the Rack configuration located in the Appendices or on DVD to find the Ethernet card resources to
assign to the Ethernet lines. After the first IPL vary the Ethernet lines on and test if they are working correctly. They should become active after 5 seconds varied on.
If it’s a DR test, find out the ioa and ip address from the ‘partition DR info’
spreadsheet and use the following command to create a new line and change all existing line desc to ‘Online at IPL *NO’.
CRTLINETH LIND(ETHLINEGE) RSRCNAME(CMNxx) LINESPEED(1G/100M) DUPLEX(*FULL) LINKSPEED(100M)
1. At the command line, type: WRKHDWRSC *CMN and Press Enter.
Or Go into DST and print the System Rack configuration.
2. Locate the communications resource name. Make a note of the name, it will be something like ‘CMN02’ with a description of Ethernet Port.
3. Type: WRKLIND *ELAN and press Enter.
4. Change the Resource name to the Ethernet Port name that you noted in step 1.
5. Page down twice to the Duplex field and type *FULL.
6. Press enter to accept the changes.
Change Domain Information
Refer to the Appendices, DVD or \\caninf01corpge\brmsreports$ \SYSINF for the Original TCPIP Domain information for this system. Use the CFGTCP command to change the TCP/IP information.
Refer to the Appendices, DVD or \\caninf01corpge\brmsreports$ \SYSINF for the Original TCP/IP Information for this system. Use the CFGTCP command to
change the TCP/IP information.
o ADD new interfaces using the DR IP addresses provided by the GE Telecommunications rep.
o Enter a ‘1’ in the Opt column along with the DR IP Address
5. Press enter and key in the following information as applicable for your
machine.
6. Take option 2 from the Configure TCP/IP (CFGTCP) menu
o ADD a new *DFTROUTE with a ‘Subnet’ of *NONE and a ‘Next Hop’
equal to the DR IP Address for the Gateway provided by the GE Telecommunications representative.
7. Add an entry for this DR partition in the host table.
Verify System Information
1. If you ran either of the following commands or the PRTSYSINF command after your save, additional reports were created that enable you to verify your system information.
2. If you are using distribution media to restore your system, then you should use these reports to re-create the system information as detailed in the
"Backup and Recovery" book.
Verify System Values
1. Return the system values back to their original settings. Type the following command: WRKSYSVAL SYSVAL(xxxxxxxx)
2. Refer to the Appendices, DVD or \\caninf01corpge\brmsreports$ \SYSINF for the Original System value settings for this system. Use option ‘2’ to change the System values and press Enter.
You may also refer to the notations made in Step 2: Restore Operating
System. Change the system values back to the original values.

1. Input any 3
rdparty software upgrades and license keys (See the Special Instructions section of this guide)
2. Refer to the Appendices, or \\caninf01corpge\brmsreports$ \SYSINF for a list of Software Resources for this system.
Initialize the System
Before performing an IPL, you need to confirm that Initialize of your system has occurred. To do this, type: GO LICPGM and press Enter. Take option 50.
If the Initialize has not occurred you can initiate it with the following command:
INZSYS
Make sure that no PTFs are being installed during the time the INZSYS is running.
If so, it will not complete successfully. If this is encountered, at the end of the PTF install end the system to restricted and repeat the INZSYS.
Verify IPL Attributes
1. Ensure the system comes up in a partially restricted state by typing the following command: CHGIPLA and press F4.
2. The following screen will be displayed: Note: these attributes are good for
ONE IPL only
2. If you see a new journal receiver generated with different naming convention under the partial status receiver, create a new journal receiver with original naming convention (i.e. AUDRCV0200) in the original library (for example QUSRSYS), and attach to original Journal/Lib i.e QAUDJRN/QSYS. Then delete the partial jrnrcv.
