BRMS enhancement: Option to set SAVACTOPT (*ALWCKPWRT) in a BRMS control group

I want to save SAP IFS objects using BRMS. The SAVBRM command has a parameter named SAVACTOPT. For this parameter I can use the option
*ALWCKPWRT. I can't find such a parameter within the BRMS control group definition or the STRBKUBRM command. This option should be added to BRMS control group definition.


Use Case:

Save IFS while active.

    IBM believes that the request described has been solved and is available with the June 2020 BRMS PTFs (7.2 - SI72865, 7.3 - SI72866, and 7.4 - SI72867). For additional information on this support reference the following BRMS wiki page: https://helpsystemswiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IWT/pages/614662152/Backup+Control+Group+IFS+Save+While+Active+Support

    The BRMS team will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. The request will be updated in the future if the request is implemented. The BRMS team will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this request.
