Moving Robot/REPLAY To Another System

Product: 
Robot/REPLAY

Before You Begin

These instructions describe how to move Robot/REPLAY from its current System i server (the source system) to another System i server (the target system).

  • Contact your Help/Systems Regional Sales Manager to obtain your new license code for Robot/REPLAY. You will need this code to use Robot/REPLAY on the target system.
  • Robot/SCHEDULE must be installed and configured on the target system with the jobs that are necessary to process your Replay objects.
  • The following items must be identical on both the source and target systems in order for Robot/REPLAY to work correctly:
    • The i5/OS levels
    • The PTF cume levels
    • All user profiles that Robot/REPLAY uses
    • Authorities for all of the system objects being used in your Replay objects
    • The descriptions of the devices Robot/REPLAY uses
    • The device types that Robot/REPLAY uses (or the system value QAUTOCFG must be set to ON)
    • The system values for QAUTOCFG, QAUTOVRT, QLMTDEVSSN, QLMTSECOFR, QMAXSGNACN, QMAXSIGN, and QPRTDEV
    • All system objects, such as subsystem and job descriptions, must exist with identical attributes.

      • Note: Be sure to check the operational attributes and workstation entries on your subsystem descriptions.

    • Any third-party software that Robot/REPLAY executes must be installed and configured identically.

Moving Robot/REPLAY

On the Source System

To move Robot/REPLAY, do the following:

  1. Verify that there are no object locks on your critical libraries by entering the following command:

    2. WRKOBJLCK OBJ(RBTRPYLIB) OBJTYPE(*LIB)

  2. Back up the RBTRPYLIB library.

On the Target System

To move Robot/REPLAY, do the following:

  1. Restore the RBTRPYLIB library.
  2. Use the following commands to enter your new license code and make Robot/REPLAY active:

    3. ADDLIBLE RBTRPYLIB

    CALL RPY320

    When the Robot/REPLAY License Setup panel displays, enter your new license code and press Enter.

  3. Relearn and test (execute) your Replay objects to ensure that they run correctly.

    4. Note: Because a Robot/REPLAY setup is very system-dependent, it is generally better to relearn your Replay objects on the target system versus moving them from the source system.
