  • Security (SAVSECDTA)

Use of system command SAVSECDTA, that includes all the security information of the system, including the *USRPRF, the *AUTL and the authority holders. Save is done in file EDH_SAVSEC.

  • Configuration (SAVCFG)

Use of system command SAVCFG that saves all the configuration objects: *DEVD, *CTLD, *LIND, *SRMSPC, *RZHRIPD, *COSD, *NTBD and *MODD of the source system in the object EDH_SAVCFG.

  • User Profile Status

Saves the status of the user profiles into the object EDH_USERS. This allows you to keep the same *USRPRFs disabled on the target system as on the source system.

  • Scheduled jobs (JOBSCDE)

Saves the internal job scheduler in the object EDH_JOBSCD.

  • Message reply list entries

Saves the system reply list.

  • System data (SYSINF)

Use of RTVSYSINF command that saves:

  • QSIZAEDTD, objects *EDTD

  • QSIZASRVA, object QAEDSPI

  • QIZANETA, table of the names *NETA

  • QIZASYSVAL, system values

  • QIZAVRM, OS/400 release

  • QIZARLESP, reply list entries

  • QIZASRVASP, list of the ASPs

  • RDB entries (WRKRDBDIRE)

  • Exit points (*EXITRG)

Saves system exit points (WRKREGINF) in the file EDH_EXITRG

  • Environment variables

Saves environment variables (WRKENVVAR) in the file EDH_ENVVAR created in the directory /home of the IFS.

  • TCP/IP data

QATOCHOST: Hosts table

QATOCIFC: IP interfaces

QATOCRTE: Routes description

QATOCSTART: Auto start options of TCP servers

QATOCPS : Description of the service table (WRKSRVTBLE)

  • NetServer definition

Saves the IFS files from /QIBM/UserData/OS400/NetServer in the object

EDH_NETSVR.

  • Directory entries (WRKDIRE)

Saves the directory entry in the file EDH_DIRE and save of the following files:

QAOKP9XA: Contains user defined data for the user

QAOSAY07: Library of documents

QATMSMTPA: SMTP systems alias

  • Configuration lists (*CFGL)

  • DSTQ

  • Network job entries (SNA) (NETJOBE)

  • Distribution list (DSTL)

Note: If DSTL are selected, the directory entry (WRKDIRE) is automatically selected as well.

Storage library - source

This library will contain all saved data on the production system.

This library MUST BE INCLUDED in the replication process to make data available on the target system. You must set the Library Group parameters to allow objects beginning with a Q and also owned by user QSYS (objects coming from RTVSYSINF command).

Storage library on target system

In case of switch, the recovery system will be modified to reflect the production system attributes. Prior to this change, all the usual attributes of the recovery system will be automatically saved in this second library.

This is done thanks to the EDHSAVSWI command that will use this library.

This library ONLY exists on the RECOVERY SYSTEM and MUST NOT be replicated. It will be created by EDHSAVSWI command if it doesn’t exist.
