RSTLIB using SAVLIB *ALLUSR ...kind of

[PMSLIC]

I'm trying to copy libraries from one partition to another on our iSeries.

I've backed up 1600+ of libraries beginning with G#0* using SAVLIB Library G#0.

Now I'm trying to restore those libraries. I've been trying to restore using RSTLIB with *ALLUSR as the Library parameter rather than restore each library at a time.

It looks like it's going thru the tape but it not restoring anything. Any clue as to what I'm overlooking?

What I read of the command the ALLUSR should restore anything not beginning with Q.

I did come up with a work around. I did a dspobjd of the libraries backed up and wrote a cl to restore them. My original cl left the ENDOPT parameter at *rewind and only restored 300 in a day and a half until the system ipl'd. I modified it to use *leave and it's running much faster.

Well... the command doesnt say you can use the generic* way of restoreing like saving does.

Sure it does

                            Restore Library (RSTLIB)                          
                                                                              
 Type choices, press Enter.                                                   
                                                                              
 Saved library  . . . . . . . . .                 Name, generic*, *NONSYS...  
                + for more values                                             
 Device . . . . . . . . . . . . .                 Name, *SAVF, *MEDDFN        
                + for more values
