Options

1. Save DID
Saves the DID and its contents, including all DID-sources linked to the DID, but excluding the Object and Source libraries of the linked DID-sources.

4. Save object libraries
Saves all the Object libraries of all the DID-sources linked to the DID.

Save DID operates in three stages:

1. The Save DID panel is prompted.
   1. Enter the name of an iSeries save file.
      This is only a temporary save file that will be created automatically and placed in QTEMP. Its only purpose is to bundle the DID information stored in multiple files in the ITP/SDK for iSeries database into one iSeries object.
   2. Enter the 'device' where the save file from 1.a. must be stored on.
2. The iSeries command SAVOBJ is prompted.
   1. Enter the save-options you want to change, like the iSeries target release.
      This save command applies to the DID information from the SDK database that is stored into the temporary save file from 1.a.
3. The iSeries command SAVOBJ is prompted.
   This save command applies to the saving of the temporary save file named in 1.a. to the 'device' chosen in 1.b.
   1. Enter the name of an iSeries save file if the DID must be stored in a save file.
      If a save file is chosen in 1.b., then the name of an already existing save file (not in QTEMP and thus different from the one named in 1.a.) must be named here.
   2. Enter the save-options you want to change, like the iSeries target release.

To restore a DID previously stored by Save DID the command RSTDID is available. This command can be called from any command line inside the SDK, and operates in three stages similar to the Save DID:

1. The panel Restore DID is prompted.
   1. Enter the name of the DID to restore.
   2. Enter the name of an iSeries save file.
      This is only a temporary save file that will be created automatically and placed in QTEMP. Its only purpose is to bundle the DID information stored in multiple files in the ITP/SDK for iSeries database into one iSeries object.
   3. Enter the 'device' the save file must be restored from.
2. The iSeries command RSTOBJ is prompted. This is the equivalent of the third stage of Save DID and restores the temporary save file.
   1. Enter the restore-options you want to change, like the name of the save file the temporary save file was stored in.
3. The iSeries command RSTOBJ is prompted.
   This restore command applies to the restoring of the DID information from the temporary save file named in 1.b.
   1. Enter the restore-options you want to change, like the library to restore the DID information to.
   2. After the DID information is restored to the library chosen in step 3.a, the DID-s information is copied into the SDK database to complete the restore action.

Save Object Libraries prompts the iSeries command SAVLIB. The Object libraries of all the DID-sources linked to the DID are already filled in. All the parameters of the command SAVLIB may be changed. Note that a library occurs multiple times in the list of libraries to save if this library is used as Object library by more than one of the DID-sources linked to the DID.
