RE: Transfer of Data from AS/400 to AS/400

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

INZTAP has a DENSITY option.  I used to transfer files
between 8mm drives where one was 5gb and the other was
7gb.  You can format a tape to 5gb on a 7gb machine, but
I found the easiest way was to go to the 5gb machine,
format a tape, then use it on the 7gb to save files.

Not sure if your's are compatible that way, but they
should be.

Other options include using SAVFiles (as someone mentioned)
and using the internet to transfer them (FTP being the
obvious and probably best choice).

Jim Langston

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

Hi all!



I am currently in the process of transferring my work from my client site to
off-site (i.e. to my Employer's AS/400). This is because my client wants to
cut costs :-).

In this process, I will need to take all my source files and database file
objects from client's AS400 machine to my AS400 machine.

--------------------------------------

Client AS/400 is :

Model 170

Processor :  9406.

OS/400   :  V4R5M0.

The tape drives are:

> 8 mm drive - 7208 342 20.0 G

> 1/4" drive - 4/8 GB SLR5 QIC-4GB-DC.

------------------------------------------------------

My AS/400:

Model: E 600 -2136

Processor : 9406

OS Version: V4R4MD

Tape Drive: 8 mm drive 6390 001 5.0 G

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------

How to solve this mis-match issue? Is it possible to read from a 8mm 20G on
a
8mm 5G ??

Also, another suggestion was to copy the objects on a CD and then read this
CD
on my machine and do a PC to AS/400 data transfer using Client Access /400
for
Windows 95/NT (Terminal Emulation Software). Is this a solution or am I
joking?



Please help.
