Re: How to move pf-dta objects between two systems

Gerry,

The help text under Copying and pasting in the Remote System Explorer suggests that you should be able to copy/paste (or even drag and drop) data files from one system to another. I just tried it, though, and it doesn't work for me. However, our systems here are secured very tightly, and I have very limited ability to move objects between them even from the green screen, so you may find that it works for you.

If not, I should think it would be pretty easy to set up user actions that would let you (for example) initiate something like a save to a save file on one system, FTP the save file to the other system (use IP address so system name doesn't matter), and restore the save file. That's just one way to do it, of course.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] How to move pf-dta objects between two systems

Is there an easy way to move data/logical file objects between two systems
in WDSCi?

I can move source code easily enough between systems but have never tried
(until now) to move data files between systems.

In the past we used green screen savrstobj commands, but we just moved to
a new system and we want to do some application testing on the old system
but the system names are the same on both boxes (which prevents us from
using savrstobj) and I want to move data files from our test system to our
old production system.
