Do I need to change any parameters when trying to savlib to a savf to FTP to another I-series to create the same environment?

Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

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…

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. Regards, Martin Gilbert.

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
