Re: Saving Spool Files for a Migration

This has worked for me:

Finish the migration so that all the user profiles are on the new box. then
on the new box create an outq called NEW and make sure the LPD server is
started: STRTCPSVR *LPD

on the old system create one like:
CRTOUTQ OUTQ(QGPL/SEND2NEW)
        RMTSYS(*INTNETADR)
        RMTPRTQ(NEW)
        AUTOSTRWTR(1)
        CNNTYPE(*IP)
        TRANSFORM(*NO)
        INTNETADR('11.22.33.44')  <== Change to meet you needs

Then just move the spool files into that outq and away they go.

They must be in *READY state so the ones on hold or save need released.
And since the profiles are on the new system all the spool files are still
associated with the original profiles.
