RE: Job Schedule Entries

Rob's advice about saving the current V5R4 *JOBSCD object first is sound:
you always want to have a "way back" when you do this kind of thing.

That said I've restored the QDFTJOBSCD object from V5R2 and V5R3 to V5R4
without incident and with all data intact.

I do not know if they changed the format of the QDFTJOBSCD object when you
upgraded from V5R3 to V5R4. I would save that object on the V5R4 machine
PRIOR to restoring the new one. That way if you do run into issues you

can

restore the V5R4 version and drop back to plan B. Which may involve

manually

keying them in. Or using the job schedule APIs to export them to a file

on

the V5R3 machine and import them on the V5R4 machine.

One problem that occurs when you get cute and try to bypass upgrades like

this

is that you bypass automatic format changes which may occur.

Now IBM does a pretty good job of trying to get you there by overlapping

some

hardware with some releases of the OS. I realize you have difficulties

when

they want certain load source sizes, etc, and you're trying to avoid

upgrading

your i any more than once every 4 times the average person upgrades their

PC.

I think I remember somewhere about being able to get the file of
Job Schedule Entries off the IFS. Does anyone remember this or did
I dream it. We are moving a customer from a V5R3 machine that
cannot be upgraded to V5R4 to a V5R4 box and wanted to keep those.

I don't know about dumping the job schedules, but you can save and
restore the object that holds all the schedules. It
is QUSRSYS/QDFTJOBSCD object name and *JOBSCD object type.
