Saving Spool Files, and Restoring Spool Files in AS/400 iSeries


AS/400, Spool files, CPYSPLF

Hello

Does anyone know if there is a utility program out there, that would serve in saving spool files on one AS400, and then restoring these spool files to a different AS400.

Not sure what methods are available, but I am thinking of using CPYSPLF to database file, and then from here, saving to tape. From this point, restoring from tape.

If you are on V5R4 i5/OS supports the saving and restoring of spool files. Information on this can be found in the i5/OS Information Center here.

Prior to V5R4 you can use BRMS software. You can try for 70 days for free. Also if you use OPS Nav and both Systems are Endpoints you should be able to copy and paste or drag and drop,

Hi Bruce

Unfortunately, the client is at V5R3., Do you happen to know the C/L commands that would enable me to save off tghe spool files to a back up tape, and then, once on the new AS400, restore these spool files to the new AS400 box.

Customer does not want to part with the spool files, and, so, I am looking for C/L program utilities that I may be able to use.

Thank you for all of your help.
