RE: Recreate queries

Pete,

Thanks. I do recall, now that you mention it, reading about that. I'm still stuck on 5.4, though, so I can't use it. Might be nice if IBM would PTF that back, but I understand that they've got better fish to fry.

Jerry,

In V6R1, you can find out what files are used by a Query with
DSPPGMREF. I wrote an article about this in my March 2010 newsletter.

David,

I have never found a way to automate the process of recreating Queries.
When we change a file, which is used by 1-n queries, I have to manually
recreate them. But I do that while I am still in development and then push
the changes to production. I don't have the luxury of having a CMS so I
don't know how that would fit into that scheme.

The hard part is identifying the queries that use FILEA, for example. There
was a utility (DSPQRYF) published in System i Network that we use to find
those.

Hi

When migrating a file, how can I automate the process of recreating the
*QRYDFN? After all this time I'd never even thought of it as it is not I who
pushes the button to deploy. The boss finally complained about having to
recreate them manually as they crashed. This will be an addition to our
home-grown CMS.

Thanks.
