SAVSYS to IMGCLG then to DVD on PC -- MIDRANGE-L

Here is what I do..

1) Transfer SS01 to the PC (whatever method your prefer, if ftp use binary)
2) Rename SS01 TO SS01.ISO (most all burning software will recognize ISO as a cd/dvd image)
3) Burn to media with using your favorite burning software.

Hope this helps,
Monty

Hi Folks, I'll try one more time on this one...if anyone can gimme the info I'd appreciate it. How do I get the /savsys dir to the DVD on my PC in the proper format for use in case I have to recover using the DVD? Also, for the folks who've done what I'm trying to do...is the STMF on your DVD's the same as what I'm showing, QIMGCLG?
Thanks, Frank

Hi Larry/Rob, thanks for the info. So, dragging and dropping to my CD drive on my PC is no good...must I use that free software? Is that the only option? I know I can use FTP but my main concern is saving it to the CD on my PC (I have DVD's) just in case it's needed (knock wood). I'm not ftp'ing the directory to another server but replicating a savf of it to our HA box but my confusion is how do I get the savsys data on a CD in the proper format. Do you folks know how to accomplish that? Here's the contents of the dir...is this correct and must i save both STMF's?
Your info is greatly appreciate and thanks, Frank

You may certainly transfer the images to your PC with any method that
orks. Personally I use FTP (Binary mode please!) but that's just me.
Once on your PC if you want to make use of them to restore the system
ou'll of course need to burn them to plastic. To do that use ImgBurn
$free) as that seems to be the only one that consistently creates
ootable DVDs from image catalog media.
If your systems were newer you could also make them available via NFS
rom another server but you cannot do that on an iSeries, it has to be a
ower System with IBM i 7.1 for that to be available.

or the directory I created for the IMGCLG? IBM says this isn't

Tom,

Interesting; some see the >grey< issue and some don't.

Seems counter-productive to omit a filter just when it would be most useful ?

Anybody here from the IBM i team ?

Gary-

I also do not have any "include" option on the list of tables in a schema (the include or F11 option is greyed out). I assumed it was due to the fact that the table list is not all there in local memory (which seems to be why it takes forever to scroll).

Many other JDBC interfaces I have used are able to give me the list of table very fast.

Rob, two locations:
In the left pane expand Databases, select a Database, expand Schemas,
expand SchemaX, right-click Tables, click Customize this view
which opens sub-menu with four options, 2nd of which is
"Include... F11" >grey<

Also, with Tables selected as described above,
click View on Sys i Nav menu bar, click Customize this view,
"Include... F11" >grey<

Thanks!

What were you clicked on in the left when you tried that? It gets greyed out when you are clicked on stuff you can't customize.
Drilling down...
MyIBMi - grey. This is not how you choose to show just "Basic Operations"
or "Work Management"
Databases - grey. Doesn't allow you to choose just to show the local database vs any you defined in WRKRDBDIRE.
MyIBMi again - grey. Doesn't allow you to choose between "Schemas", "Database Maintenance", etc Schemas - not grey. Can choose which schemas (libraries) to display.
Schema (library) name - grey. Cannot choose to show "All Objects", "Aliases", "Constraints", etc Tables - not grey. Pick and choose what tables you want to show.
clicking on any table in the right - not grey

Thank you Buck,

Rob also helped with this and lo and behold: "Include" is >grey< on Tables/Customize this View (also on Menu bar/View/Customize this View)

My profile has *ALLOBJ,*IOSYSCFG,bla,bla - so I asked Sys Admin and he says he has not >blocked< any Sys i Nav options ?

Hmm, sounds like a good lead, but I get lost . . .

I >think< I want to "Customize this view" at the Tables node under the
Schema which has the Tables I am interested in, but I have yet to see
a way to do this at any level below Schemas.

At Schemas in the Left Pane, I have a Databases tasks = "Select
schemas

to display"

and this does open a window with pretty good filter options . . . alas
nothing at a lower level has caught my eye . . .

Databases > Schemas > Tables
Right click Tables or press F11
On the General tab, select the radio button for 'Names that match'.
Under Condition, select 'Starts with'. Under Text, type the letters that your file names begin with.

I'm on 7.1

As an aside, I'm not really a GUI person. I like that completely empty green command line very much. Yet even I have managed to learn quite a few things from reading Rob's posts on iNav, and if I can - anyone can!
:-) I've found a plethora of very cool actions by right clicking pretty much anything and everything on the screen. I wish there was a tutorial on this stuff, but in the absence of that, thank you Rob!
