Restoring a SAVF that was burned to a CD

This assumes you already copied the savf to your PC.

1. Burn the savefile to a CD, being certain to specify a Volume ID and filename
in ALL UPPERCASE. (For this example, a Volume ID of "VOLUME" has been used)


To copy the SAVF from the CD to your AS/400:

2. Load the CD into the AS/400.

3. Determine the AS/400 filename of the file on the CD by using the WRKLNK
command as follows:

WRKLNK OBJ('/QOPT')

Select option 5 next to QOPT
Select option 5 next to the Volume ID
Note the filename
(For this example, a filename of C1P250~1.SVF has been used)

4. Create a savefile on the AS/400 (For this example, LIBRARY/SAVF is the
name of the savefile)

5. Run the CPYFRMSTMF command as follows:

CPYFRMSTMF FROMSTMF('/QOPT/VOLUME/C1P250~1.SVF')
TOMBR('/QSYS.LIB/LIBRARY.LIB/SAVF.FILE') MBROPT(*REPLACE)

Replace VOLUME with your Volume ID
Replace C1P250~1.SVF with your filename
Replace LIBRARY with the library name that your savefile is in
Replace SAVF with the name of your savefile
