Re: Copy program from one connection to another

Ah, that would seem to confirm that u can't copy to another connection. Clicking move opens a box where u select the target from the same connection as the source. Added another filter to my connection with the target library. Now I can drag and drop within the same connection.

I wonder if my pools and filters are set up as efficiently as they might be. If I create a new connection, I get the same default filter pool automatically. Inside are filters based on the *curlib, so I don't have to change them. I just set the *curlib on the connection when I create it. Then I instantly have access to everything in that library, which usually corresponds to a development library. I have another filter pool with filters with hard coded library names for stuff outside the development library that I don't normally need to show.

David,
So what happens when you right click on the PGM and select
Move from the context menu?

Edmund,

Still doesn't work. I tried a savf. In fact I vaguely recall
knowing that was the only kind of object u could copy like
that. In the target connection I created an object filter to
show only save files of the curlib. Tried dragging the savf
to the filter : same message. Dragged the savf to the library
in the libary list filter : works.

Vern, nice to learn that at least you could right click on an
object then Save.

David and Vern
Please ignore my previous notes on this subject, Vern is absolutely
right that we cannot copy and paste any other object beside SAVF
because they cannot be represented as a stream of bytes in the
clipboard.
In order to do this properly, the tool needs to know both
the source
and target of the move or copy, which is why drap and drop is the
right way to move objects around on the IBM i.
So making sure that the target filter is open, click on the source
object and hold the mouse down and move to the target library. The
operation will be a copy.
(This is were the open as table can make things more
convenient) Alternatively and very simply, you can right
click on the
PGM and select the move operation.

No need to go back to PDM :-),

I apologize for being to quick speak without double
checking my facts.

Edmund Reinhardt

As far as I know, the only object type that can be copied from one
connection to another is a save file. Programs cannot be copied. I
have
rdp7.6 and tried to drag a program from one to another - got your
message. Tried dragging a save file, worked fine.

This is how things work now on the i - you have to make a
save file of
any object to get it to another system. I'm talking of using FTP -
there is a way using the FileSvr.400 - whatever it's called
- but that
might not be available through the client.

I wish the client could do what SAVRSTOBJ does - then
anything could
be copy/pasted.

Now you can drag any member to another connection - just
have to drop
it on the container source file. You can't drop it within
the content
list of a source file, even though, to me, the icon shown while
dragging suggests that you can, based on other windows
behavior. Sigh!

That's my experience, anyhow - maybe I'm missing something, too.

Hi,

I'm having trouble with this on Rdp7.6. I don't remember such a
problem
on WDSc6, just that I didn't do it much because of the time it took.

In Connection1, I drill down into my object filter (or
the same if I
drill into the libraries filter), select my program object
right click
and copy.

In Connection2, I do the same. I have a filter pool with the same
object
filters. The library list for the connection determines the objects
displayed. If I right click the paste option will show if I want to
paste in the libraries filter. I select the library name,
click paste
and get :

Invalid transfer operation
The source mylib/mypgm OBJTYPE(*PGM),
cannot be transferred into the target myotherlib
OBJTYPE(*LIB:TEST-CUR)

Here, the target lib is the curlib for the connection. If I choose
another library, I get no message, but no copy either.

Bug or me?
