RE: FTP issue -- MIDRANGE-L

Jeff -

I think that this may be a QDLS issue.  Try putting export.txt in the root
(or a directory in the root) of the IFS rather than QDLS.  You should then
be able to use "get /folder/export.txt hssdjsch/export (replace"

The other option would be to do the binary transfer "get
/qdls/upload/export.txt /qdls/upload/export.txt" then use CPYFRMPCD
FROMFLR(UPLOAD) TOFILE(HSSDJSCH/EXPORT) FROMDOC(EXPORT.TXT)

I think I am missing something obvious here but I need some help.  We are
trying to FTP a text file from the IFS of one AS/400 to a file on another
AS/400.  Is this possible?  Every time we try, the data appears as garbage.
We are using binary, NAMEFT 1.  The FTP command is as follows:

get /qdls/upload/export.txt   /qsys.lib/hssdjsch.lib/export.file

Is this a mismatch of file types?

Since I have not seen anyone reply as of yet - here is 2 cents...

I am somewhat sketchy on ftp ins and outs, whys and where's myself,
however; this sounds like the file you want from the IFS is a pc
style file, so why would you use the NAMEFT 1?

I would think you could code your script just as you would if you
where doing the get from a PC.

Have you tried it without?

My "feeble understanding" of the NAMEFT 1 is to preserve the file
from one system to another (basically so you don't ftp a compiled object
over and it suddenly becomes a text file of garbage) -
but I could be way off base as I have not really had a need to use
the nameft1 unless I was going from one AS/400 DB to another with out
going in-between IFS or pc's.


Hopefully some other people on the list that have taken the time
to learn more about ftp than myself can bring more light on the subject
for you - as I have just learned enough to get it to work for what the
requirements have been thus far.

If this is a text file, you should use ASCII instead of BINARY.

namefmt1 and 2 are used to differentiate between folder and library
directory structures.  1 is folder, 2 is library.
you need to specify name format 2!

I have found that when FTPing between OS/400 you need EBCDIC not BINARY or
ASCII.
Seems like there was one other command required but no matter how hard I
think
"recall" it won't pop up at the moment....

Subject: RE: SAVCHGOBJ question - rephrased
Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2002 10:40:19 -0500
Reply-To: midrange-l@midrange.com

Dennis -

The reason (IMHO) that your SAVCHGOBJ runs the same amount of time with your
large libs omitted is that you said earlier that you also save these
libraries to a SAVF and then back up the SAVF.  Since the SAVCHGOBJ uses
REFDATE(*SAVLIB) if you had just saved these libraries to a save file there
would be no changed objects in them.  If you monitor performance data you
may want to consider omitting your Performance Data Library (usually
QPFRDATA).

If you decide to use SAVACT(*SYNCLIB) you should also specify a SAVACTMSGQ.
Then you can tell when the libraries are synced and it is safe to run jobs.
Or you can monitor for the SWA message(CPI3712) and submit your job with the
CHKOBJ after it is received.  Per the help text, once the sync message is
received "The objects can be used by most applications. However, while
save-while-active processing is completing, some applications may find some
objects in use."  My 160 GB system(720) syncs its daily SAVCHGOBJ in under
10 minutes.

It is true that there is no IBM command that does a restore of changed
objects for *ALLUSR, you need to know all of the libraries on the tape that
you are restoring changes from.  There is a TAATOOL command, RSTALLCHG that
I believe will also do this.

Reply-To: midrange-l@midrange.com

Let me rephrase my question.  SWA was just a question & not something I want
to get involved in because it doesn't make sense in out organization.  I'm
just trying to get my problem solved!

What I am trying to determine is the length of time the "lock" is placed on
the system in reference to the statement below.

<snip>
As I read through the help for the SAVCHGOBJ command, it says  "Specified
objects that were changed and the libraries where they reside remain locked
during the save operation".
<snip>

Obviously it didn't work last night either otherwise I wouldn't be here at
work trying to get this fixed & truly understand my problem.

The only thing I can "assume"  (don't you love that word because that is how
I feel) is that when the SAVCHGOBJ command starts, the "whole" system is
locked???????????  And I just don't want to believe IBM would do that -
but......  All I can see from my job logs is that I have a timing issue.  I
will redo my CL program by putting in a "delay" of a couple of minutes & the
two other jobs that run via the job scheduler will execute at an earlier
time than the SAVCHGOBJ - during the delay I just created.

Another thing I found was that the SAVCHGOBJ OBJ(*ALL) LIB(*ALLUSR) command
takes the SAME AMOUNT OF TIME as the same command  with the parm
OMITLIB(BPCSF BPCSUSRF) included.  The library BPCSF is almost the largest
object on my system & I'm thinking the SAVCHGOBJ should get done sooner
omitting those two libraries.  Both commands process through my user
libraries in 31+ minutes.  Why is that?

Thanks - Dennis.

I've not had any issues with SSA/GT's BPCS product and V5R2.  However,
just as a matter of doing good maintenance I used to look at apar II12963
available at:
http://makeashorterlink.com/?S1A533DC1
or:
http://www-912.ibm.com/n_dir/nas4apar.NSF/c79815e083182fec862564c00079d117/c
6df642b03904db186256a9c00543478?OpenDocument&Highlight=2,SSA%2FGT

Is there an equilavent for V5R2?  I ask only 1 BPCS question per year and
that list is too busy for me.

I was looking at the web site at:
http://www-912.ibm.com/supporthome.nsf/Document/10000031
Selected 'All Group PTFs by Release'.
Opened up V5R2.  There I noticed that V5R2 doesn't seem to have quite the
number of Group PTF's that earlier releases did.  Noticeable ones include:
 Backup and Recovery, Performance, etc.

Should I be concerned?
