RE: FTP & Save Files: RISC V4R2M0 to CISC V3R2M0

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting problem.  I presume the V3R2 machine is current on PTF cum
packages ? 
(There WERE several PTF's quite a while back that corrected some
incompatibility problems when restoring on V3R2 from RISC systems).  I
have successfully done this between a V4R2 system (at cum level
C8195420) and a V3R2 system (cum level C8139320).

Also - have you tried the following.

V3R2 & V4R2 both contain a no charge optional OS/400 part called
ObjectConnect (OS/400 Part 22).  If you don't have it, it's on your
install tapes/CD's (just remember to reload & apply 576x-SS1 PTF's from
latest cum package after you install from release media in case any
apply to this option).
You can then use these commands without first having to dump your data
into savefiles:
                
     SAVRST      QSYS        Save Restore                
     SAVRSTCFG   QSYS        Save Restore Configuration  
     SAVRSTCHG   QSYS        Save Restore Changed Objects
     SAVRSTDLO   QSYS        Save Restore Doc/Lib Object 
     SAVRSTLIB   QSYS        Save Restore Library        
     SAVRSTOBJ   QSYS        Save Restore Object         

How fast is it compared to SNDNETF of a savefile, or FTP of a savefile.
Well, sorry - haven't tested that yet !  :-)
And it does require an APPC or APPN connection (no TCP/IP).

(Don't forget to consider the time to save/restore the stuff into
savefiles when comparing to time for a SAVRSTLIB for example).
