Multiple/Parrallel BRMS save jobs with the same media policy would result in BRM148A

When multiple BRMS save jobs with the same media policy are run concurrently at the same time, BRMS might not be able to handle it well. At times, it will throw out false exception like BRM148A.

    Hi,

    Our expectation for the concurrent save jobs using the same media policy with append(*YES) would be for the save to go to different volume. We do not expect the save job to always go to the same volume, we would want the save job to use any available volumes with same media class that it can append to and if there isn't an append volume available, it will picked a expired volume.

    The BRMS team needs more information to further assess your Request for Enhancement. After reviewing the case numbers provided, it appears that the same volume was being used by the concurrent save jobs. Is the expectation that the concurrent jobs append to the same volume, or just that they use the same media policy and it is ok for each of the individual jobs to write to different volumes?
