RE: PTF save files in QGPL: OK to delete?

IBM names the PTF save files Qxxxxxxx. Yes assuming they are applied (even
temp) you can delete them safely. If you really need one back you can of
course always get it again.

I concur. Those save files are the original downloads.

And the saved objects are not stored in names like QSI12345V1. They may (or
many not) have names more germane to the objects they hold. For example
dspsavf qhttpsvr/qpza000027 Directory . . . . . . . :
/QIBM/ProdData/HTTPA/admin/conf/QP/QSI61619J1
/requestRoles.properties

See also:

Select
b.objlib, B.*
From
Table(QSYS2.OBJECT_STATISTICS('*ALL','*LIB')) AS A Cross Join
Table(QSYS2.OBJECT_STATISTICS(A.OBJNAME,'*FILE')) AS B Where B.OBJATTRIBUTE
= 'SAVF'
order by b.objlib, b.objname

- It saves the current version of QMYPGM into another save file. Let's
say QSI12345V1.
- It restores the new version.
Now you have two save files: QSI12345, QSI12345V1

The save file's I'm seeing in QGPL have names like this:

QSI49510
QSI49592
QSI49660

Are these the original PTF download save files or the backup save files?

Based on the time they were created, I'm thinking they are the original
PTF save files and not the backup.
