RE: Restoring licensed program from SAVSYS tape

Perhaps we should clarify what is meant by full system save. It sounds like
Albert is dealing with the SAVSYS portion of the save. Is there an *IBM
option on the RSTLIB command ? Also, is it one specific licensed program
that you want to restore ? That might make a difference.

As far as I am aware, the licensed programs get saved simply as libraries.
The commands behind Option 22 on the GO SAVE and GO RESTORE menus might
provide more insight.

Evan Harris

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.
