Restore via FTP

Scroll Prev Top Next More

If you are unable to run the RSTLIBPC program you can manually FTP the save file and install via this.

 

An alternative restore, that is not using FTP is explained here.

 

Prerequisites

Port 20 and port 21 are open in any firewalls between the client and the IBM i.

The FTP server must be started on the IBM i.

 

Here is how to do that:

 

First create a save file on the System i onto which you will upload the save file. You can e.g. create it in qgpl with this command: CRTSAVF QGPL/SAVF3812.

a.Next upload the save file SAVF3812 (e.g. found in the distributed zip file) e.g. via FTP onto the save file (here we imagine the SAVF3812 file is placed in C:\temp and is to be uploaded to qgpl/savf3812:

b.Open a DOS session on your PC.

c.Type ftp followed by the ip address of your System i and press Enter, type your user profile and password when prompted.

d.        Type lcd c:\temp (or wherever you have placed the SAVF3812 file.

e.        Type cd qgpl to temporarily place the save file in the qgpl library

f.        Type bin to change to binary transfer

g.        Transfer the file with the command: put SAVF3812

h.        Type quit to exit the ftp session.

 

Now restore the apf3812new library from the save file QGPL/SAVF3812 (this save file in this example) with the command:

RSTLIB SAVLIB(APF3812NEW) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/SAVF3812)

 

You can delete the temporary save file: DLTF FILE(QGPL/SAVF3812)  

 

Start the upgrade or install like described below.
