Re: Restore entire 7.5 system from a SAV21 tape

Maybe, knowing that the out queues in question are an issue, rather than
going out of order in the recovery process, consider omitting those queues
you have an issue with. Restore them manually later.

Alternatively have a CLP that creates all of your custom objects and makes
changes to things like IBM supplied print files and work management
objects. Once the restore is complete then run your program and now your
system is set up just the way you like it.

There are good reasons for the order of recovery and without significant
consideration they should not be altered.

Hello Marc,

For this particular *OUTQ issue (I guess you are talking about output

queue linked to a printer device), I was used to restore QUSRSYS library
prior to configuration.

Not sure. I'm talking about qprint, qprint2, qprints, etc. Object types

are *outq, probably *devd, and maybe *file (prtf).

I took some notes about that. See

https://try-as400.pocnet.net/wiki/Post-Install_Optimizations#Cleanup_unneeded_stuff

My specific point was about output queues in QUSRSYS linked to printer
devices. When I was using remote output queues, I was used to create a
dummy printer device (for some reason that I forgot, maybe related to
assistance level in ASSIST menu). When running RSTCFG command, when
there is no existing output queue in QUSRSYS for a printer device to be
restored, this output queue was created at restore time. And on old OS
versions (I don't know if it is still the case), it was not possible to
restore an output queue over an existing one. Therefore, any output
queue customization like remote IP address was lost.

And, in regard to BRMS recovery actions described by Rob, normally,
configuration information is restored prior to QUSRSYS library. So,
here, I was not using the exact recovery report. Maybe, I could have
added a specific step to restore only QUSRSYS *OUTQ objects in place of
QUSRSYS library prior to configuration.
