Re: SAVSYS to IMGCLG then to DVD on PC

One of our PC techs said that the burning can be done via Windows7, just open up the CD drive and follow along. Now...how can I test the CD to see it's worthy for use, if neccessary?

Here is what I do..
1) Transfer SS01 to the PC (whatever method your prefer, if ftp use binary)
) Rename SS01 TO SS01.ISO (most all burning software will recognize ISO as a
d/dvd image)
) Burn to media with using your favorite burning software.
Hope this helps,
onty

ubject: SAVSYS to IMGCLG then to DVD on PC


i Folks, I'll try one more time on this one...if anyone can gimme the info I'd
ppreciate it. How do I get the /savsys dir to the DVD on my PC in the proper
ormat for use in case I have to recover using the DVD? Also, for the folks
ho've done what I'm trying to do...is the STMF on your DVD's the same as what
'm showing, QIMGCLG?
hanks, Frank


Hi Larry/Rob, thanks for the info. So, dragging and dropping to my CD drive on
y PC is no good...must I use that free software? Is that the only option? I
now I can use FTP but my main concern is saving it to the CD on my PC (I have
VD's) just in case it's needed (knock wood). I'm not ftp'ing the directory to
nother server but replicating a savf of it to our HA box but my confusion is
ow do I get the savsys data on a CD in the proper format. Do you folks know
ow to accomplish that? Here's the contents of the dir...is this correct and
ust i save both STMF's?
our info is greatly appreciate and thanks, Frank

ou may certainly transfer the images to your PC with any method that
rks. Personally I use FTP (Binary mode please!) but that's just me.
nce on your PC if you want to make use of them to restore the system
u'll of course need to burn them to plastic. To do that use ImgBurn
free) as that seems to be the only one that consistently creates
otable DVDs from image catalog media.
f your systems were newer you could also make them available via NFS
om another server but you cannot do that on an iSeries, it has to be a
wer System with IBM i 7.1 for that to be available.

Tom,
Interesting; some see the >grey< issue and some don't.
Seems counter-productive to omit a filter just when it would be most useful ?
Anybody here from the IBM i team ?

Gary-
I also do not have any "include" option on the list of tables in a schema (the
nclude or F11 option is greyed out). I assumed it was due to the fact that the
able list is not all there in local memory (which seems to be why it takes
orever to scroll).

any other JDBC interfaces I have used are able to give me the list of table
ery fast.

Rob, two locations:
n the left pane expand Databases, select a Database, expand Schemas,
expand SchemaX, right-click Tables, click Customize this view
which opens sub-menu with four options, 2nd of which is
"Include... F11" >grey<
Also, with Tables selected as described above,
click View on Sys i Nav menu bar, click Customize this view,
"Include... F11" >grey<
Thanks!

What were you clicked on in the left when you tried that? It gets greyed out
hen you are clicked on stuff you can't customize.
rilling down...
yIBMi - grey. This is not how you choose to show just "Basic Operations"
r "Work Management"
atabases - grey. Doesn't allow you to choose just to show the local database
s any you defined in WRKRDBDIRE.
yIBMi again - grey. Doesn't allow you to choose between "Schemas", "Database
aintenance", etc Schemas - not grey. Can choose which schemas (libraries) to
isplay.
chema (library) name - grey. Cannot choose to show "All Objects", "Aliases",
Constraints", etc Tables - not grey. Pick and choose what tables you want to
how.
licking on any table in the right - not grey

ables/Customize this View (also on Menu bar/View/Customize this View)
My profile has *ALLOBJ,*IOSYSCFG,bla,bla - so I asked Sys Admin and he says he

Hmm, sounds like a good lead, but I get lost . . .

I >think< I want to "Customize this view" at the Tables node under the
Schema which has the Tables I am interested in, but I have yet to see
a way to do this at any level below Schemas.

At Schemas in the Left Pane, I have a Databases tasks = "Select
schemas
o display"
and this does open a window with pretty good filter options . . . alas
nothing at a lower level has caught my eye . . .
Databases > Schemas > Tables
ight click Tables or press F11
n the General tab, select the radio button for 'Names that match'.
nder Condition, select 'Starts with'. Under Text, type the letters that your
ile names begin with.
I'm on 7.1
As an aside, I'm not really a GUI person. I like that completely empty green
ommand line very much. Yet even I have managed to learn quite a few things
rom reading Rob's posts on iNav, and if I can - anyone can!
:-) I've found a plethora of very cool actions by right clicking pretty much
nything and everything on the screen. I wish there was a tutorial on this
tuff, but in the absence of that, thank you Rob!
