RE: Moving all source - 4.2.0 -> 2.3.0

[Bob Crothers <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there an ECS modem on each box?

If so, setup an SNA connection via the ECS modems then SNADS them 
across.  Many of the old ECS modems are only 9600bps, but it can run 
all night.  And source members don't tend to be large anyway.

I don't mean save to a savefile and then sndnetf, but sndnetf each 
member and then rcvnetf on the v2r3 box.  This can be automated quite 
simply (a bit of CL on each end).

Another approach is find somebody on V3R1 and another somebody on 
V3R2/V3R6/V3R7.  The V3R2,6 & 7 box's can all target to V3R1. Soo...

You save your source files & target V3R2.

V3R2,6 or 7 system restores your source files and then saves them 
targeting V3R1.

V3R1 system then restores and resaves them targeting V2R3.

This isn't bad one time, but it is a bit of a pain.  If your source 
code is constantly changing, the ECS option above is probably better.

Subject:        Moving all source - 4.2.0 -> 2.3.0

We have a customer needing an update of our software
for their obsolete 2.3.0 box.  Our source is NOW on our
S20 at 4.2.0.  Our old 2.3.0 box has ONLY twinax
attached terminals, QIC tape, and no other connectivity.
Our 4.2.0 box has QIC tape also, as well as full TCP/IP
functionality.

The challenge:
Moving all source files (QRPGSRC, QDDSSRC, etc., each
with hundreds of members,) from the 4.2 box to the 2.3
box in an automated fashion.  We may need to do this
multiple times over the next 6 months.

(Yes, we will *eventually* drop support for pre-3.2.0)

While we can use CPYTOTAP, it is a manual operation
and cannot be automated without significant coding.
The individual members are treated as one, or, we
must perform the operation for each member.  We will
write the code if we HAVE TO, but, is there an
off-the-shelf utility that would ease this task?
