RE: Identifying all references to a currently active program -- MIDRANGE-L

Alan

The RXS upgrade was sort of unique.
A simple RSTOBJ from a savf into the existing RXS library, omitting any configuration objects.
Some old objects were replaced, new objects added.
I've never done a restore with intentional omits, but it was very useful for the config objects.

Message . . . . : -RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(RXS) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/RXS311)
MBROPT(*ALL) ALWOBJDIF(*FILELVL *OWNER) RSTLIB(RXS) OUTPUT(*PRINT)
OMITOBJ((RXSUNQ) (RXSCFG) (LICP) (RXSRTRCTL) (RXSRTRLOG))

What did they do with the old library? Did they rename it. If yes, anything still active will be pointing to the programs in the old library. If they deleted it, then the next time one of programs gets tried to use it should blow up although that is not guaranteed. I have had service programs pointing to an old version that held on even when the service program was deleted.

RXS 2.71 to 3.11 upgrade complete.
All is working.
No objects were moved to the QRPLOBJ library, what does this infer?
RXS license key LICP had to be moved from old license key library
KTLIC to RXS.
Object LICP in KTLIC type *FILE moved to library RXS

If a program is active, and a newer version is installed, the older
version is automatically stuffed into QRPLOBJ under a different name.
The user won't know what happened. The next time the program is
called, the user will get the new version.

Subject: Identifying all references to a currently active program

I'm upgrading a 3rd party tool later today, RXS 2.71 to 3.11.
The upgrade is simple, RSTOBJ from a savf to the RXS library, about 70
objects.
Takes about 10 seconds.
The issue is we have no easy way of knowing what programs of ours
should be stopped/started The main RXS object is RXSSV *SRVPGM, which
is part of BNDDIR RXSBND
1) Is there a command or tool that would show any reference or call to
this program?
2) If an RPGLE program is in memory, but not currently used, if this
object if replaced by the upgrade, the reference to this program will
probably result is failure, correct?

Thank You
