Restoring Files
Dear All,
I want to set up a new test enviornment in our development box. A sub system has already been created. The following needs to be done.
1. Restore all physical files from PRDFLIB TO DEVFLIB
2. Restore all logicals from PRDLLIB to DEVLLIB .
The access path of the logicals(devllib) which i create must point to DEVFLIB can you please advise how this can be done.
Thanks a lot for your assistance

Answer Wiki:
Restore all files to DEVFLIB. Then use MOVOBJ to move each logical from DEVFLIB to DEVLLIB. (CRTDUPOBJ could also be used, but then you'd probably want to use DLTF on the original LFs anyway.) A developer's tool such as PDM could be used to help select and move the set of LFs.
That's the easy way.
Alternatively, restore the physicals to DEVFLIB. Then create the logicals in DEVLLIB according to their requirements.
It'd be far easier if you had your LFs in the same library as your PFs as they should be. There are very few reasons ever to create a LF in a library other than where the underlying PF is. It is sometimes useful to have a LF isolated, but it's hard to think of justification for any significant number of LFs.

I believe you could also restore all the physical files to DEVFLIB, then add DEVFLIB to your library list, and finally restore the logicals to DEVLLIB … NOTE : the production library PRODFLIB must NOT be in your library list when you restore the logicals to DEVLLIB.
