RE: GO RESTORE, 21. System and user data

Rob -

You should be able to do a side-by side migration with the GO RESTORE, 21.
method as long as you follow the Restore to a different system checklist and
specify SRM(*none), ALWOBJDIF(*all) and MBROPT(*all) on your restore.  Of
course you won't get your spool files, you'll need a seperate plan for that
if you want to retain them.

It's really D/R practice....

Just to share, in case any of you are thinking of upgrading from one 
iSeries to another by using the

method.

Don't.

It is now Thursday morning.  My boss has been offsite all week.  Stuff is 
still not working.  He is planning on doing the D IPL from tape and start 
from scratch.

There are just too many things that you have in QSYS that are not 
restored.  For a sample, try imagining retyping everything from the 
printouts generated by PRTSYSINF, which, on my system, generated 225 spool 
files with numerous pages each.
