Re: V5R4 to 7.1

[Evan Harris <auctionitis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John

As a general rule it's my preference to clear a library before restoring
over the top of it as it just makes things a little tidier, and it is
simpler to check that the restore has completed successfully.

Alan's comment may have something to do with their reasoning, though V7R1
is a lot more forgiving and smarter about restoring logicals across
libraries and similar situations.

If you are journaling make sure the journals are restored before you start
restoring the files using them.
