Re: SAVASVFDTA to Optical device

Syd

is

CPY /QSYS.LIB/yourlib.LIB/savefile.FILE   /QOPT/OPT01/savefile.savf

or something along those lines an option ?

You would have to reverse the process in the event of a restore but if you
can;'t get the SAVSAVFDTA command to work yo'd have to restore the savf in
any event....

SAVSAVFDTA may have some tape-specific stuff in it, don't know. So may be
try SAVOBJ with SAVFDTA(*YES) - this'll save the SAVF as a SAVF, instead of
putting its contents on the DVD as if you save directly to the DVD.

Maybe?

Hi Guys n Gals

Can anybody help with this problem.

I have saved an IFS directory to a save file and I am now trying to use
the SAVSAVFDTA command to save the contents of that save file to the IBM
DVD writer (a 6330-002 device). It is currently configured as OPT01.

The command I am using is:

SAVSAVFDTA   SAVF(Library/SaveFile) DEV(OPT01) OPTFILE('/OptFileName')
CLEAR(*REPLACE)

No data is saved and I receive message CPD376E - Parameters not valid
with optical device

I have no problems saving the IFS directory directly to OPT01, and, I
have no problems if the  save file contains a library or objects from
the QSYS file system. The problem seems to be specific to the IFS
directories.

I am trying to create a simple back up feature, that first backs up to
SAVF, and then one or more copies of the saved data are copied to the
back up media.

I am using  an iSeries 270 at V5R1M0, PTF level C2134510

Thanks in advance
