Have you considered using the ObjectConnect feature of the OS? It is a free option of the operating system (option 22). It gives you some very nice commands, like

SAVRST QSYS Save Restore SAVRSTCFG QSYS Save Restore Configuration SAVRSTCHG QSYS Save Restore Changed Objects
SAVRSTDLO QSYS Save Restore Doc/Lib Object
SAVRSTLIB QSYS Save Restore Library SAVRSTOBJ QSYS Save Restore Object
I have set up AnyNet to handle the transfers - have not started the QSNADS subsystem, so I don't think that is needed, at least explicitly.

The SAVRSTLIB, SAVRSTCHG, and SAVRSTOBJ commands have a way to change the target library, they bundle up whatever has to be saved into a SAVF under the covers and restore it on the remote system. At least it looks that way to me by how it behaves.

SAVRST does not seem to have a way to modify the directory to restore to - at least on V5R1.

It's really very nifty, IMHO. Use it all the time on our network.

Greetings IT GURUs,

Background:

V5R4 on both i5/os machines/partitions.

I have a process that uses FTP to get save files of libraries from one i
partition to another, and I want to submit a restore job after each library
is successfully transferred. I have "get LibOne (R' to get the save file
and replace the existing file. I want to do a 'syscmd sbmjob cmd rstobj
obj(*all) savelib(LibOne) dev(*safv) objtype(*file) savf(backup/LibOne)
mbropt(*all) alwobjdif(*all) job(JobName) jobd(myjobd) jobq(*jobd)
jobpty(*jobd)' (extra parms added for clarity and to make the command
longer).

Questions:

If the command is too long for the FTP line, is there a continuation
indicator like the plus sign (+) in CL source that will recognize the
following line as part of the command from the previous line?

What is the max length of a record that FTP can process? The record length
of the current script file is 132.

Is there another way to run a submit job command (other than writing a
program for each of 50 libraries) to get the submit job command to process?

Thanks!

Jim
