Re: Restoring licensed program from SAVSYS tape

Thanks Tom.

Albert:

For what it's worth, you're welcome. To tell the truth, I'm really hoping that Simon or someone else can speak up and say "Wait a minute, here. Do it _this_ way...". I have no complaints about being corrected.

After creating a few LPPs and working through various scenarios, including calls to IBM on this topic, no method has been made apparent to me outside of SAVLICPGM (and SAVSTG perhaps). Parts of my work could be a _lot_ easier if I knew a good method for this.

Good luck. If nothing else, Simon should be coming on-line shortly.

I have a system which is on V4R5, I need to install licensed programs fro a full system save tape. I have tried installing them and restoring them and neither one works. The first on is 5769SS1 1. The tape label is Q5769SS1450M.0001 but the AS/400 doesn't like it, even when I specify the sequence number on the restore command. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Albert:

AFAIK, you don't restore licensed programs from full-system-save
media (unless maybe there were savefiles that contained output from
SAVLIPGM in there.)

AFAIK, full-system saves do not perform any SAVLICPGM operations.
