Re: do the QANESAVA and QANERSTA APIs use save files?

ok, thanks.

I will run my code that is designed to stream a 300GB library to a remote
PC. I will likely find out if the system first creates a save file,
because there will barely be enough space to hold it.

( and thanks for the article. saved me a lot of time. )

Steve,

Sorry, I had no intention of replying since I don't know the answer - I
must have hit the wrong button when browsing through my inbox. Anyway,
I've noticed the same behavior as you have, when working with the two
APIs in question. You'll also see evidence of the save file in the QTEMP
library of the QANEAGNT prestart job performing the actual save record
buffering. I don't however know exactly how this implementation affects
the storage requirement during the save/restore process, and nothing
seems to be documented in the manual as far as this issue is concerned.

Best regards,
Carsten Flensburg

Subject: do the QANESAVA and QANERSTA APIs use save files?

I am working with the QANESAVA and QANERSTA APIs to save and restore
direct to a network socket. The idea being to pass the data streamed
by the QANESAVA API direct to a .NET program running on a PC.

I am seeing mention of temporary save files in the low level messages

of the save/restore agent job:

Message . . . . : 4 objects restored. 1 not restored to SRICHTER3.

Cause . . . . . : 4 objects were restored from SRICHTER2 to

SRICHTER3

at

04/13/09 07:52:01. 1 objects were not restored to SRICHTER3. Objects

were restored from save file QANE262913 in library QTEMP.

Is the internal functioning of QANESAVA to first save to a save file,
and then stream the save file data to the exit program? If so, does
that mean that to use QANESAVA you need enough free space on the
system to hold that temporary save file?

thanks,
