RE: Restoring an item to the IFS

["Holder, Ken" <kkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The command looks good to me.

Example:
RST DEV('/QSYS.LIB/TAP01.DEVD') OBJ(('/MyDirectory'))

Are you sure the IFS folder was saved to the tape currently in drive TAP02?

Subject: Restoring an item to the IFS


How does one go about restoring a folder to the IFS from a SAVSYS?  Somebody
in the company wants to retrieve a folder from an old iSeries machine that
the company used to run.  I have a SAVSYS from the old machine across
multiple tapes available to me.  I am trying to restore just a folder called
EDI.  The folder currently does not reside in the IFS.  I tried the
following command

 

RST DEV('/QSYS.LIB/TAP02.DEVD') OBJ(('/EDI'))

 

After much a great deal of activity and time I get the following error(s)

 

File not selected. File label or file name mismatch for file XXXXXXXX.

 

The XXXXXXXX is the name of the library/object on the tape.  I get this
message for every Data File Label on the tape.  First off is the above
command correct?  If so what Data File Label am I looking for so I know
which tape to put in the drive?
