Re: Simple way to tranfser library

I had tried this but it didn't work. When I attempt to do a simple copy-paste (IFS, QSYS.LIB/library) it just ignores the paste command. When I try to do a SEND, it goes thru the entire transfer and then finishes with a status of FAILED (something about Library QSYS2924 not found).

Honestly, this has become much harder than it should be. I'm just going to go with Jerry's suggestion of creating SAVFs and FTPing them to my PC. After the new system is in place, I can put them back.

Thanks to everyone to responded.

For a one-time transfer, OpsNav works really well. You can point to a bunch of libraries and then send them over to the other machine. OpsNav does all the save/transfer/restore stuff for you.

Is there a simple way to copy a library to a remote (300 miles away)
iSeries? I know I can do:

Create SAVF
SAVLIB to SAVF
Create SAVF on remote system
Lather:
FTP SAVF to remote system
RSTLIB on remote system
CLRSAVF on remote system
CLRSAVF on local system
Lather, rinse, repeat (for each library)

I can do this but am hoping there's an easier, cheap (i.e. free)
alternative. We're upgrading to a new Power 7 and I need to copy some
libraries over to a remote i5 until the upgrade is complete, and then copy
them to the new system. I'd really rather not install anything new on the
old box, to accomplish this.
