Re: Why isn't go restore opt 21 used with previous-to-current

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the reply, how are you reaching that conclusion? IBM told me that the instructions are "probably" based off of old documents so a 21 restore should work but the OS hasn't fundamentally changed so I'm a little perplexed.

As far as ALWOBJDIF, well, I don't think many people do a previous to current release restore on the same box, so it's probably needed.

And if you read the help, option 21 does a RSTLIB *NONSYS. This includes *IBM and *ALLUSR. Do you really want to clobber your 7.2 version of the compiler with your 6.1 version?

That's a start. Busy week.

I've been going through the steps with the previous-to-current release
instructions but I'm a little perplexed as to why it isn't the same
commands as GO Restore 21.

The first command, RSTUSRPRF has the parameter ALOBJDIF(*ALL) but why is
this needed with previous-to-current release? I am a little unclear of
what exactly is being overwritten but there really aren't any user
profiles aside from QSECOFR so why would this need to be required?

The second command, is RSTCFG OBJ(*ALL) DEV(media-device-name)
OBJTYPE(*ALL) SRM(*NONE) ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) ENDOPT(*LEAVE). Sort of makes
sense, as you're probably be going to be installing on a different system.

Third, RSTLIB SAVLIB(*NONSYS) DEV(media-device-name) OPTION(*NEW)
ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) MBROPT(*ALL) FRCOBJCVN(*NO) ENDOPT(*LEAVE) OMITOBJ(QOFC).
I would have thought the FRCOBJCVN would be set to at least SYSVAL? The
SYSVAL that it looks at is already set to 0 - do not convert in the
previous to current release instructions.

Forth, the RSTDLO is essentially the same aside from the addition of
ALWOBJDIF.

What am I missing?
