David,

I have never found a way to automate the process of recreating Queries. When we change a file, which is used by 1-n queries, I have to manually recreate them. But I do that while I am still in development and then push the changes to production. I don't have the luxury of having a CMS so I don't know how that would fit into that scheme.

The hard part is identifying the queries that use FILEA, for example. There was a utility (DSPQRYF) published in System i Network that we use to find those.

Hi

When migrating a file, how can I automate the process of recreating the *QRYDFN? After all this time I'd never even thought of it as it is not I who pushes the button to deploy. The boss finally complained about having to recreate them manually as they crashed. This will be an addition to our home-grown CMS.

Thanks.
