RE: Restore of *savf from tape

Valid point.....I did failed to mention I use SAVSAVFDTA
To save the savefile to tape.

But at this time it's water under the bridge as i
Have the savf restored......ftp'ed over to the target system as a savf.

And by morning the restore of the library on the target system 
will be done.

All I can say is I can't wait till our 520 goes live.

Our 9406 and 270 take basically take all day to do a this type of
procedure
Whereas my 520 took about an hour on each LPAR to do something like
this.

I have a savf on a backup tape called LAWAPP8DBB

The savf was created via    

SAVLIB     LIB(LAWAPP8DB) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(LAW8SUPP/LAWAPP8DBB)

Jim:

Although you show how the savefile was populated, you didn't show 
how it was put to tape. Two general ways would be SAVLIB 
SAVFDTA(*YES) and SAVSAVFDTA. Getting the "savefile" back would be 
very different between the alternatives. It's possible that the 
"savefile" doesn't quite exist on the tape even though the entire 
content is on the tape or even that the savefile description is on 
tape but it's empty.
