I agree with this.  Yes, you will have to change some resource names.  For
example your 'LANLINE' may attach to resource CMN12 versus LIN012 now. But
in general it is a good way to go.  BUT DO NOT FORGET SRM(*NONE).  If you
mess that up I don't think that initializing the disks are even going to
save you.

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
