Re: Overwrote a V4R3 QGPL with a V3R7 QGPL (no backup) -- MIDRANGE-L

I had him enter 'ENDSBS *ALL' prior to doing anything. He's getting the CDs (eventually, whenever the BP decides to send 'em), but in the meantime - what if I were to do a SAVLICPGM of 5769SS1 off my V4R3 and have him do a RSTLICPGM of it back onto his?

Was the system in a restricted start when you tried it ?
This may help: http://as400service.rochester.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.nsf/fd9885170ed46f758625680b00020373/28e0fe1d0f81b6dc862565df006d772f?OpenDocument&Highlight=2,Restore,QUSRSYS For step 14 I would suggest a RSTLIB of QUSRSYS & QGPL under new names like XQUSRSYS & XQGPL (RSTLIB parm on RSTLIB command). Then WRKLIBPDM for each lib and use option 11 to move over the user objects that you need (output queues, job queues, etc.). You can even delete source files in QGPL like QRPGSRC, QCLSRC, etc. and move the source files over from your XQGPL library.

We tried this one. We put in the first CD, it then asked for the 2nd, then the 3rd. Nothing installed. No error message, as I recall.

That should work. So should GO LICPGM, #11 - and select QGPL & QUSRSYS. (If you run GO LICPGM 10 now it should show QGPL & QSURSYS as *BACKLEVEL).

I have a client who has a brand new V4R3 system. While restoring his libraries from his V3R7 system, he inadvertently restored the QGPL and QUSRSYS. That was bad enough. The _really_ bad part is he didn't do a backup of the new system prior to restoring the old libraries on to it. One more thing: when he received the system, it was shipped with the OS pre-installed - the install media did not ship with it. We've ordered the install CDs.
Once we get the CDs - how do we get the proper version of QGPL and QUSRSYS on the new box?
