RE: Restoring source

Sometimes it can take awhile to restore a file.  Much depends 
on the tape device and the CPU.  We normally submit our restores 
to batch.
Let's see..  This restore is from a system save.  Therefore it has 
to get by the SAVSYS, and some libraries from the *NONSYS.  Being a 
BPCS account, and not knowing how you named your BPCS libraries, your 
largest object libraries may be in front of it.  For example:  
BPCSF???, BPCSCDO, BPCSCDF, and what not.  It just might take awhile.  
Tell you what, if it takes more than twice what a save does, then panic.

Subject:        RE: Restoring source

I tried doing this again, and this time I am getting no error or anything
the tape is just sitting there on tapw.  So what does that mean?  It has
been running 1 hour to restore 1 source file.  But it is just sitting there
on TAPW.
    
  CD15S2       QSECOFR     INT      .0  CMD-RSTOBJ       TAPW   
  
 

> RSTOBJ OBJ(QRPGSRC) SAVLIB(BPCSMODSRC) DEV(TAP05) OBJTYPE(*ALL) SEQNBR(69)

   FILEMBR((QRPGSRC (BIL522))) MBROPT(*ALL) ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) RSTLIB(QTEMP)

 

     And I did a dsptap and the file shows, and is on seq 69.

HELP!!!

You did not say what the error was ... I get this all the time from my users
They do not tell me what the error message was & they sign off without 
capturing a job log (SIGNOFF *LIST is how they should do it when we need 
one)... very often when we go to second level help there is information
about 
what the problem was.

I normally do my tape manipulations from the OS/400 command line.
CALL QCMD then F10 gives me my job log at the same time as more commands
Place the cursor on error message on screen or on job log then F1
This takes me to 2nd level help detail explanation of the error message

Usually the problem is obvious at that point, once you are able to get past 
the IBM jargon
