(FAQ) How To Transfer AS400 Objects to Another Machine

These steps will help us transfer objects from one machine to another.
1) Create save file. This save file will contain the objects that we are going to transfer. This must be created on both machines.

Command: CRTSAVF FILE(MYLIBRARY/MYSAVF) TEXT('My Save File')

2) Save Objects to save file (*SAVF). You can now save your desired object to your save file.

Command: SAVOBJ OBJ(MYSRCPF) LIB(MYLIB) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(MYLIB/MYSAVF)

3) Now you can now transfer save file (*SAVF) to the other machine using FTP.

Command: FTP RMTSYS('111.11.11.11')
- User: UserName
- Password: Password
- Binary
- Put MyLib/MySavF MyLib/MySavf
- Quit

4) After completion of FTP, you can now restore your object (from the *SAVF) to machine 2.

Command: RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(MYLIB) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(MYLIB/MYSAVF)
