Re: QS36F file format error after migrating LPAR

I try to follow, Rob, but I'm overwhelmed.

In any case, it should work from tape, right? Boot from alternate and the
alternate is the tape?

And it doesn't. And apparently it's the tape drive itself that is the
problem.

If you have any suggestions how to recover from the famous MAKEAMESS
command, I'm listening :)

it therefore it doesn't apply to them, and right while we're trying to
help you through this, ask about trying to do the same thing.

Upgrades and migrations can be done. Even by those who don't do this for
a living. However, following the instructions is HIGHLY recommended.

Rob, I think you're right on.

I'm coming to the conclusion that I have two choices:

1. Step back and make a type 21 restore booting directly from the tape
work rather than try to install the opsys from virt opt and restore the
libraries.
2. Change my name, get plastic surgery, and become a missionary to
Borneo.

Ok, seeing a file in QS36F, and seeing a format error, automatically
makes
me think the file became unlinked from it's IDDU definitition. Possibly
because the library containing the IDDU definitions was not restored, or
in the wrong order, or some such thing.
Kind of a WAG answer but gives you something to work on.

Almost there restoring/migrating to a new LPAR. What an odyssey! Thank
everyone who has helped.

Now making everything work.

Have S36 applications throwing errors, e.g.:

// QRYRUN INTRST01,INS.QRY,INTRST,DISPLAY,,,,,,,,,RECSEL,DETAIL
QRYRUN procedure is running
Format INTRST01 not found in file INTRST in QS36F.

The file INTRST is there. What magic button have I forgotten to push in
restoring that this file has lost its connection with its format?
