Re: Restore Source Members

Darell:

Yes, this would restore the member to the same library/file as the saved object, and yes you should see the source.

The program object would not be restored by this command, you would need to restore it separately. After the restoration of the program object, assuming it's in the same library, the Aug 4 version would be there and replace the Aug 14 version. Caution is urged to be sure that the program is not part of an ILE binding group etc. Be sure that you get all the parts needed.

A restore of the program object might look like:

RSTOBJ OBJ(EWXP667)
SAVLIB(CDLIB)
DEV(yourtapedevicehere)
OBJTYPE(*PGM)

In this case the object would be replaced. Make sure it is not in use as bad things can happen if you are replacing a newer object with an older one. Again the same advice for finding the sequence number on the tape should be followed.

A little time with the back up and recovery portion of the IBM i web site might be in order.

Thanks Jim.
Will this command restore the member to the same library CDLIB?After this restore will I be able to see the source EWXP667 when I do wrkmbrpdm QCLSRC/CDLIB.?
Also the program object EWXP667 exist in the library CDLIB for 14th Aug.The user wants the source to be restored from 4th Aug.So after the above restore will this program object for 14th Aug be replaced?
Please advice

Darell:

I am guessing that EWXP667 is a member. With that:

ew RSTOBJ OBJ(QCLSRC)
SAVLIB(CDLIB)
DEV(yourdevicenamehere)
OBJTYPE(*FILE)
FILEMBR((QCLSRC (EWXP667)))

will do it. A good idea would be to use the sequence number of the
object on the tape if you can get it. If you display the object
description of cdlib/qclsrc it will show you the last tape and sequence
number it was backed up on.

If this is from BRMS, you should be able to use BRMS to recover the
object and member you want from any back up where the tape is not
expired. If you would like some help with that, give me a private shout.
