Answer Wiki:
Hello, No parameter changes are needed unless you want to restore the saved library to a different library on the other iSeries. Another way of doing this is .... The Save/Restore Library (SAVRSTLIB) command allows the user to save and restore a copy of one or more libraries to another system. The system must have a supported communication link with the restoring system. Hope this helps... TPinky

Hi,

If you’re going to FTP the save file, you’ll need to create the save file on the other system before FTP-ing, and then FTP in binary mode to the existing save file, otherwise you will end up with a physical file.

I am currently using this process to save our production data to a save file each evening, then FTP’ing to our development system and doing a restore lib. This gives the programmers an automatic refresh of our production data.

I would be willing to share this code if you would like.

Hope this helps,
Bill
