3.Command for restoring from CD:

rstlib savlib(ALKMVS) dev(opt01) vol(ALKMVS) Label(ALKMVS)

mbropt(*all) alwobjdif(*all) rstlib(ALKMVS)

where opt01 is your CD-ROM drive.

Make sure all objects were restored. You can ignore security warning messages. It is okay if MIDQUE does not restore because this file is created later on.

⇒NOTE: The ALKMVS Library CD was created using Kisco Information Systems’ BlueCD, which allows you to create AS/400 readable SAVLIBs on a PC CD writer. A small percentage of users may have difficulty restoring the ALKMVS Library with the above command. If you experience problems:

Type RSTLIB, then:

a.Specify the library ALKMVS and the appropriate optical device

b.Press <F10> for more options

c.Specify *ALL on database member options

d.Specify *ALL on allow object differences.

4.The system administrator should make the library ALKMVS available to users at sign-on time. There are two ways to insert ALKMVS into the library list:

a.The WRKSYSVAL command can be used by typing WRKSYSVAL, and then searching for the QUSRLIBL entry. Insert ALKMVS.

b.If your users are using a job description in their user profiles, then use the CHGJOBD command (type CHGJOBD) and insert ALKMVS.

For Innovative Computing installations, a command is available to help insert a library into the library list. ALKMVS should be the first library in the library list. (NOTE: Run this command from a typical ICC user account or profile, not QSECOFR). Enter the following:

ADDLIBLE ILPGMR *LAST

CHGLIBLS

(insert) ALKMVS
