RE: howto move cfg to new AS400

Jerry -

IMHO, the best way to move your config is with the SAVCFG and RSTCFG
commands.  Just remember to use the SRM(*NONE) and ALWOBJDIF(*ALL)
parameters on the restore config since you are restoring to a different
machine.  If this new system doesn't have any users on it you can use
RSTUSRPRF USRPRF(*ALL) ALWOBJDIF(*ALL).  This will overwrite any duplicate
profiles.  I have not tested this, but I believe that if you use
ALWOBJDIF(*NONE) it will only restore profiles that do not exist on the new
system.  If you try to restore user profiles individually the password will
be set to *NONE.  If you do not have *ALLOBJ authority, that authority will
be stripped from profiles that you restore.

Hope this helps,

I have over 520 config objects (lines, ctl units, dev, etc.) that need to
seamlessly be moved from one AS400 (now called old) to a (new) AS400.
Autoconfig just won't do the job.  I ran RTVCFGSRC with the plan to move it
from one sys to the other but there are NO development tools on either
AS400.

I also need to move the user profiles ditto.

Anyone faced this?

TIA,

Jerry
