Commands for saving specific object types

 

This information contains a table that shows you which commands you can use to save each object type.

An X appears in the column for the SAV command if you can use the SAVxxx command to individually save an object of that type. When you specify SAV OBJ('/*'), the system saves all objects of all types.

Notes: 1 If the object is in library QSYS. 2 Save files have the option of saving only the description SAVFDTA(*NO) or the content SAVFDTA(*YES). Data Queues have the option of saving only the description QDTA(*NONE) or the content QDTA(*DTAQ). Output Queues have the option of saving only the description SPLFDTA(*NONE) or the content SPLFDTA(*ALL). See Objects whose contents are not saved for more information. 3 Use the RSTCFG command to restore these objects. 4 Edit descriptions and configuration lists reside only in library QSYS. 5 The SAVSAVFDTA command saves only the contents of save files. 6 Use the RSTUSRPRF command to restore user profiles. Use the RSTAUT command to restore authorities after you restore the objects that you need. The system restores authorization lists and authority holders when you use the RSTUSRPRF USRPRF(*ALL) command and parameter. 7 If there are save files in the library, the system saves the save file data by default. 8 Mail and SRM data consists of internal object types. 9 Comparison of special values for SAVLIB command: LIB parameter shows which IBM-supplied libraries that you cannot save with the SAVLIB command. 10 You can only save block special files when they are not mounted. 11 When a printer device description is saved, the associated output queue located in library QUSRSYS is not saved.
