Re: Transfering Objects & Source From between Systems

["Mark S. Waterbury" <mark.s.waterbury@xxxxxxx>]

Hi, David:

WDSCi and RDi should be "smart enough" to know, based on object type, 
when it must create a temporary save file, save the object into this 
temporary save file, send the save file to the target system, receive 
the save file on the target system, and restore the object from the 
temporary save file, and then delete the temporary save file, when you 
"drag and drop" an object you want to copy from one system to another.  
It should also be "smart enough" to know what TGTRLS(VxRxMx) to specify, 
or give a reasonable error message if you try to copy from say V6R1M0 to 
V5R2M0, which of course, the IBM SAVxxx commands do not support (more 
than the "n - 2" rule.)

Do we need to get a bunch of people to open DCRs for this, to get IBM to 
"fix" this?

Thanks,

Mark S. Waterbury
