RE: GO RESTORE, 21. System and user data

Scott,

Maybe you replied before reading the rest of the emails, but "should be 
able to do" and actual experience has differed.

I consider the loss of spool files a godsend.  It's an effective way of 
clearing those out.

Rob -

You should be able to do a side-by side migration with the GO RESTORE, 21.
method as long as you follow the Restore to a different system checklist 
and
specify SRM(*none), ALWOBJDIF(*all) and MBROPT(*all) on your restore.  Of
course you won't get your spool files, you'll need a seperate plan for 
that
if you want to retain them.

It's really D/R practice....

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.
