RE: Saving the IFS

[Jim Damato <jdamato@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

SAVDLO doesn't save the IFS -- it's the other way around.  Using the IFS
based SAV command allows you to save QDLS stuff because QDLS documents are
within the IFS.  It helps to think of the IFS as everything.  The
conventional library/object file system and the shared folders & documents
are subordinate to the IFS.

SAV DEV('/QSYS.LIB/media-device-name.DEVD') OBJ('/*')  saves the entire IFS.

Your command below omits the QSYS.LIB conventional libraries/objects and
omits shared folders and documents -- stuff you're saving with SAVLIB and
SAVDLO.

Subject: Saving the IFS


I've looked through the IBM online manuals and the answer to this is not
clear.

I thought that the SAVDLO saved the QDLS as well as the IFS but our DRT
consultants think that's not true.  They didn't suggest what was!  Is the
command that saves the IFS:

SAV DEV('/QSYS.LIB/media-device-name.DEVD') OBJ(('/*') ('/QSYS.LIB'
*OMIT)('/QDLS' *OMIT))(1) UPDHST(*YES)
