Are the objects program objects only or are there files in the list?
If so, I would not attempt it "live", unless the application specifically has allowed such an install (and some do).
The reason I mention files is that programs are dependent upon the level id of the file objects they were compiled with - and your stream of replacement "live" is one at a time - if you restore or move objects, they get moved or restored one by one by the executing command.
Even in program objects, what if the parameters between programs is changing...

The api is good if it is a single object, but...
One would have to know exactly whats changing to evaluate this.

Paul,

Use the QLIRNMO API -- it was designed for this very purpose. It does the same thing that the compilers with REPLACE(*YES) parameter specified.

See:

Hope that helps,

Mark S. Waterbury

If I need to install a group of objects for a 3rd party application, and the application can't be shut down, if I move (not delete) all the objects to an old library, then move the new objects from an install library to the current production library, should the 3rd party app, or any jobs running using the app, continue to run without issue?

Normally this would done during an IPL process or restricted down time.

But I really would like to get this in before next scheduled downtime.

From what I read, if an object(pgm) is in use it would continue to run if moved, as long as it is not deleted.
Any new jobs would automatically get the new objects.

If a *DSPF, *PF, *LF had a lock, I do realize they could not be moved.

Any thoughts/experiences from the group related to moving production objects.

Thank You
