Re: Copy program from one connection to another

Edmund

Perhaps so - I've never used projects - we use TurnOver, so no need for them. I never did see much benefit to projects and enough limitations that I have ignored them.

That process is doable but has too many steps, as I see it. I think I will put in a request for functionality based on or similar to that of ObjectConnect, so that copy/paste or drag of objects could be accomplished. I'm just glad I don't have to work out the issues there!

Hi Vern,
I think what David is saying is that you can migrate programs between
systems today using RDp 7.6, by loading them into an i Project from one
system and then changing your i Project to be associated to another system
and then pushing the program there.

It seems that the kind of thing done by ObjectConnect - an option of SS1
- might work. You mentioned that you need to be able to work with
streams. You work with SAVFs now. ObjectConnect has the SAVRST* suite of
commands, which effectively make a SAVF, then transfer it in some way to
the other system and get it restored there. I'm sure there are
inaccuracies in my description, but it's the general idea - the
parameters all match the SAV* and RST* commands.

So I'm thinking that the client - RDp now - could execute whatever it
wants, including the various SR stuff - to get a "SAVF" on the fly that
could be transferred and "restored".

Hmmm?

Quoting an expert

"In this case, in i Projects, you can capture programs as binaries and
migrate them to other systems. Binary object support in RDp 7.6 will do
this for everything but logical and physical files. In the future we

hope

to add support for logical and physical files.

In RSE, the limitation is that you have to copy to a target we can

support

with CRTDUPOBJ. So you have to paste into a library (for objects) or

source

files (for members).
