Re: Tool to copy IFS-tree to other AS/400 machine.

    Hi Thorbjørn,

    To back up and expand on Mark's response, see:

http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/enable/site/java/deployguide.html

"A Java class file (and similarly for a zip or jar file) and its associated
JVAPGM are encapsulated as an iSeries object. The iSeries save and restore
commands are "iSeries object aware" and will save and restore the JVAPGM
along with the Java class file (vs. an ordinary FTP which is not "iSeries
object aware" and will not preserve the JVAPGM).   The iSeries Move Object
(MOVOBJ or MOV) moves the JVAPGM, but the iSeries Copy Object (CPYOBJ or
CPY) does not."

    However, if you're at/above ( or install ) SF99069-13 on V5R1, you can
get the same HotSpot-like benefits of V5R2 and beyond, that is, no need to
run CTRJVAPGM anymore.  See Basic Java Performance for iSeries at:

http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/perfmgmt/pdf/BasicJavaPerf.pdf

    In fact, I have seen evidence that some IBM compilers ( not necessarily
on the AS/400 ) actually use HotSpot.

Subject: Tool to copy IFS-tree to other AS/400 machine.


I need to deploy a jetty+some local code to a very slow AS/400 machine
running V5R1 - it takes 5 minutes to start Jetty, but runs Ok when it is
in the air for what we need - and I would therefore like to run the
"crtjvapgm ... optimize(40) tgtrls('V5R1M0')" step on our own AS/400
machine which is much faster.

How can I package the result such that I can ftp it to the other
machine, and unpackage it again?  I.e. so that the optimized native code
is kept.

Intensive usage of IFS is new to our shop, so our guru doesn't know.

Thanks in advance,
