RE: Restore issues

["Ed Chabot" <echabot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim and others who have replied,
We have  covered all the bases that have been mentioned and think we may
have hit on something.  We are restoring to a model 720 running V4R4.  The
objects that are giving us the problem all have a system level of V1R5 or
earlier (honest! - we're converting systems on a company we acquired last
November and they have managed to stay far from the bleeding edge!) Anyway,
we can restore the library to a model 300 running V3R2 without any problems.
We are chalking it up to an operating system restriction and handling the 4
libraries that are giving us the problems by going to the model 300 first,
saving the library on that box and restoring it to the 720.  Good thing we
haven't scrapped the 300 yet! Thanks to everyone that responded.

Are you using the exact same parameters in the RSTLIB and RSTOBJ commands?
The key parameters I know of are MBROPT and ALWOBJDIF.  ALWOBJDIF wouldn't
pertain if the object doesn't exist.  Also, are the RSTLIB and RSTOBJ
commands run as the same user (shouldn't pertain if the object doesn't
exist)?

If you DSPTAP DATA(*SAVRST) OUTPUT(*PRINT), what shows up for the offending
object?  Is it owned by a different user?

Other than that, I'd try restoring the library to a different RSTLIB (if you
have the storage) and checking the job log.

Marlin Firearms Company -- do they provide an employee discount, outlet
store, scratch and dent section?

Buck,
Thanks for replying.  In this case the object doesn't exist on the system we
are restoring to and we've checked for cross-library logicals.  Anything
else come to mind?

If I recall, there are several ways this can happen.  The job log is the
first place to look.  The main one that strikes here is cross-library
logicals: an LF in a library other than the PF.  The owner of the object on
the tape differing from the owner of the object on the system can give you
fits too.
