Re: What happens to workspace?

Because the backup and restore features for a library is (was when we 
wrote this - been using it for at-lease 5 years), much better.  Backup & 
Restore from the IFS use to be pretty messy.

And yes - it works just fine.  15 developers over - say 5 years - no real 
issues.

Re: [WDSCI-L] What happens to workspace?






Why, oh why would you store a PC .ZIP file in a iSeries physical file?

I'm surprised it even works.

Using the IFS would be a much better idea.

We ZIP the folders into one file.  Then use FTP to put it on 
the System I.

If I remember - it's just
PUT pcfilename.zip Library/File

we put all of our stuff in one specific library.

it was written in Delphi.  Then we also have a small portion 
of it that 
give a list box of files in the library, and then you can 
also download 
it.  That way, if I'm on a new PC, or if I want a 
Knowledgebase - I can 
download the ZIP to my Local PC, and un-zip it there.  I also 
use it to 
backup all of my client notes, and documentation, - stuff 
like that also.

We also have it so that  it will only backup the folders if 
there have 
been changes in there.  So most developers, just start it 
when they leave, 
and if you want - it can shut down your PC when it's done. 
That way stuff 
is backed up every nigh.

Works for us.

 >from our PC's to a System I library.

Do you mean the IFS vs. a library?  Or how are the PC 
documents stored on
your iSeries?  I am in the process of buying my first iSeries 
by myself 
and
it would be nice to be able to do the same thing.

Thanks,
Aaron Bartell

That's right Aaron.  We also use a backup program like that. 
Only we FTP 
our
PC apps, and other things (GX Knowledge bases) from our PC's 
to a System I
library.  That way it get's archived with our standard 
Disaster Recovery
procedures. 

We wrote our own, but they are very nice type of programs to have.

Re: [WDSCI-L] What happens to workspace?






You will HATE WDSC if you put your workspace on the network. 
There is a
boat load of IO happening for nearly ever thing you do while 
in RSE.  I 
know
because I backup my workspace to another computer using a tool called
SmartSync and it only transfers the changed files, and there 
are a lot of
them each time it runs during the day.

BTW, SmartSync is an excellent (and cheap - $35) way to backup your
workspaces.  I just put everything that would be a pain to lose in a 
folder
called "My Projects" and then sync that entire folder to 
another machine. 
I
have been using it for a couple years now and am VERY 
satisfied with it
(satisfied = it doesn't break and it isn't a pain in the 
butt).  The best
feature is you get to pick the time when it syncs.  I sync 
twice a day I
think.

Say, what happens to my workspace, when I lose my harddrive where my
workspace is stored.  I guess I'm answering my own question, 
put it on the
network?

Is that what most of you are doing?
