RE: V5R2 to V5R4 Upgrade and queues -- MIDRANGE-L

Thanks Rob. I came in this morning to see that all of the job scheduler entries are intact. Pleasant surprise. I guess the guys [we out sourced] got that part right. They actually told us programmers to tell them which libraries and files to restore from the old machine to the new!! That was after we were assured it would be a full system restore. But, we had CreatePrint woes for another department so they dropped that bomb on us....Thursday.
We don't have an AS/400 [iSeries] operations dept. IT [not iSeries people] does the backups and that's just about it.

Another option is to use the job scheduler api's on the existing release to read them all and output that to a file. Then some program on the 'new' system can read that file and ADDJOBSCDE them all back in.

Restore the one from the old box. Try WRKJOBSCDE, etc. If it tells you to FOAD then rename the restored one and rename the one that came with the new box back to the real name.

Yes, we are moving onto a new box as well. Too bad about the job queue entries. We were hoping there was a work around. How does it work for job scheduler entries: WRKJOBSCDE? Do we lose them, too? The upgrade is tomorrow morning - Saturday.

If you are moving onto a new box via an unload/reload then you will lose spool files and job queue entries. You can send the spool files across afterwards if you want (presuming the box is still intact) using remote outqeueues to transfer them. You can even upgrade the old box afterwards and then save and restore the old spool files if you want to see how this feature works. As to Job queue entries, in this situation I think your out of luck. You'll probably get a better answer if you describe the scenario in more detail.

Just checked the archive - didn't see it. The memo to users for both V5R3 and V5R4 didn't talk about it either.
