How to restore with new library using RSTLIB

[Nil]

Hi All,

Here I have one problem during restoration, if anyone could help that would be great.

I am restoring a library via CLLE program in batch.
During restoration if we give a new library name in RSTLIB parameter of RSTLIB command then journals and their receivers are not restored.

Steps that I am doing

Step1: CRTLIB LIB(&MyNewLib)
Step2: I am using following parameters on RSTLIB command

RSTLIB SAVLIB(TEST) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(SAVELIBSC/MYSAVF) RSTLIB(NIL) OUTPUT(*PRINT)

Here is the error I am getting. All objects are restore except following journal and its receiver.

Message ID . . . . . . : CPF7086 Severity . . . . . . . : 30
Message type . . . . . : Diagnostic
Date sent . . . . . . : 08/20/10 Time sent . . . . . . : 01:50:33

Message . . . . : Cannot restore journal PF002JRN to library NIL.
Cause . . . . . : Library NIL is not the library where journal PF002JRN was originally created. Journal PF002JRN was originally created in library TEST and can only be restored to this library. This operation is not allowed because the association between journal receivers and the journal would be lost.
Recovery . . . : Change the name of the library in the RSTLIB parameter value. Then try the request again.

Kindly let me know how we can overcome with this problem.

Journal receivers can only be restored to a library of the same name as the one theyw ere saved from. It can be a different system, but has to be the same name. Never tried with a journal, but it could be the same also.

Do you need to include the journal and receiver in the save ?

Yes I need journal and receiver in the save, so is there any way to restore journal and receiver with differnet save?

Short answer NO, you have to restore the journal objects into the same library name that they were saved from.

Why do you want to restore the journal receiver to a diffferent library ?

It is a client requirement that if they save a library in save-file then they should be able to restore into different library or on the same based on their convenience.

Exclude the journal and receiver from their saves, so it will restore nicely based on their requiremnt.
If required run your own separate save of the receivers etc for audit/security reasons.

If the users insists then download the system modification request form from the IBM website and tell them they are free to fill it in and send to IBM, when their change is implemented and they upgrade to the next release to get their feature then you will implement it process wise for them.

Couldn't he submit this to the COMMON requirements committee too? There is more than one way to get an IBM change.

Re: How to restore with new library using RSTLIB

could you please tell me what is this COMMON requirement committe.
I need to know IBM support web site for this type of issue.

Contact IBM or your business partner for the modification request, but don't hold your breath waiting for them.

Tell the users their request is not able to be fulfilled and list the alternatives for them. They can't change it so they have to live with it.
