Re: GO RESTORE, 21. System and user data

I agree, make your own system current and scratch the new system.  And 
that was/is my recommendation.  But they ignored that and thought GO 
RESTORE, 21 would fix their ills.  They've discovered otherwise.

There is a checklist for this in the Backup and Recovery Guide, which you
need to follow.  There are specific things that are different when you are
changing serial numbers.  The biggest is that you really need to make your
own operating system current, and then scratch the new system.

Just to share, in case any of you are thinking of upgrading from one
iSeries to another by using the
Re: GO RESTORE, 21. System and user data
method.

Don't.

It is now Thursday morning.  My boss has been offsite all week.  Stuff is
still not working.  He is planning on doing the D IPL from tape and start
from scratch.

There are just too many things that you have in QSYS that are not
restored.  For a sample, try imagining retyping everything from the
printouts generated by PRTSYSINF, which, on my system, generated 225 spool
files with numerous pages each.
