RE: GO RESTORE, 21. System and user data

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

This is sounding better.

So it got subsystem descriptions and everything?

NEWS FLASH!  Should we modify our nightly backups to:
CLRLIB RTVSYSINF
MONMSG CPF0000 DO
CRTLIB RTVSYSINF
ENDDO
RTVSYSINF LIB(RTVSYSINF)

On our 820 the RTVSYSINF took 11 seconds.
DSPOBJD OBJ(RTVSYSINF/*ALL) OBJTYPE(*ALL) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) 
OUTFILE(QTEMP/DSPOBJD)
And a query against that showed disk usage to be a measly 208k

On our 840 it took 3 seconds.  And the query on that show only a measly 
208k also.

Rob

I used this option, without any problem. It is described in the manuals.
I scrached the recieving AS/400 with the CD's and created a 0205 kind of
machine (only OS loaded) waiting for QGPL and QUSRSYS of the old machine.
The PRTSYSINF information can be saved with RTVSYSINF into a special 
(empty
library)
On the recieving machine UPDSYSINF can be used to recover all ogf this.

B.T.W. I talk about V4R3 update to V4R5 up to V5R2 on a 620
option 21 save on 620 and option 21 restore on a 820.

Groetjes (Greetings)

Just to share, in case any of you are thinking of upgrading from one
iSeries to another by using the
Re: GO RESTORE, 21. System and user data
method.

Don't.

It is now Thursday morning.  My boss has been offsite all week.  Stuff is
still not working.  He is planning on doing the D IPL from tape and start
from scratch.

There are just too many things that you have in QSYS that are not
restored.  For a sample, try imagining retyping everything from the
printouts generated by PRTSYSINF, which, on my system, generated 225 spool
files with numerous pages each.
