Re: Changed command defaults

If you are at a sufficiently high release, there is an API that can retrieve
all the parameters and other stuff about commands - Retrieve Command Definition
or Retreive Command Information - one of them, I think. You could run it
against your version and against IBM's then compare the resulting XML for
differences.

Look in the API Finder at InfoCenter - I don't remember the names.

It's Friday and I'm installing and upgrading WDSC 7 plus TurnOver - worse than
selinity!!

Greetings:

As we move from a 720 to our new i520, we are looking at the significant
number of commands whose default parameter values have been changed. The
former administration seems to have done a pretty good job of copying the
unchanged versions to a holding library, then modifying the original. (Or
so it looks.) However, "pretty good job" is the issue. We need to identify
the exceptions, if any.

Another fly in the ointment is that the method used previously is exactly
the opposite of the one recommended by IBM in the Information Center for
V5R2, at:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/index.htm?info/cl/chgcmddf.htm


It means that our modified commands on the new box were overwritten by the
upgrade. (Note: BP's method was to load base V5R4 on the new box, restore
system backup of old V5R2 box to the new system, then upgrade the OS on
the new box -- not at all sure of the gory details.)

Is there a way to determine exactly which commands (V5R2 on old box) no
longer use the as-shipped default parameters? Links to online
documentation warmly received. Alternatively, just give me a search term
that can be used in the Information Center. As demonstrated, I tried RTFWP
first.
