<h1 class="topictitle1">Move data between <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span>s
using copy file commands</h1>
<div><p>Another way to move data from one <span class="keyword">iSeries™ server</span> to
another is to copy the data using the copy file commands with DDM.</p>
<div class="section"> <p>You can use the <span class="cmdname">Copy File (CPYF)</span>, <span class="cmdname">Copy
Source File (CPYSRCF)</span>, and <span class="cmdname">Copy From Query File (CPYFRMQRYF)</span> commands
to copy data between files on source and application servers (ASs). You can
copy local relational database or device files from (or to) remote database
files, and remote files can also be copied to remote files.</p>
<p>For example,
if a dealership closes, the distributed relational database administrator
can copy the client and inventory tables from the remote server to the local
regional server. The administrator needs a properly authorized user profile
on the application server (AS) to access and copy the tables and must create
a DDM file on the application requester (AR) for each table or file that is
copied. The following example shows the command the database administrator
would use to copy a table called INVENT in a collection called SPIFFY from
a server with a remote location name of KC105 to a regional center server
called KC000. A DDM file called INCOPY in a library called TEST on the application
requester (AR) KC000 is used for the file access. These commands are run on
the KC000 server: </p>
<pre>CRTDDMF FILE(TEST/INCOPY) RMTFILE(SPIFFY/INVENT)
RMTLOCNAME(KC105)
CPYF FROMFILE(TEST/INCOPY) TOFILE(TEST/INVENTDDM)
MBROPT(*ADD)</pre>
<p>In this example, the administrator runs the
commands on the KC000 server. If the administrator is not on the KC000 server,
then pass-through must be used to run these commands on the KC000 server.
The <span class="cmdname">Submit Remote Command (SBMRMTCMD)</span> command cannot be
used to run the above commands because the <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> cannot
be an application requester (AR) and an application server (AS) for the same
job.</p>
<p>Consider the following items when using this command with DDM:
</p>
<ul><li>A DDM file can be specified on the FROMFILE and the TOFILE parameters
for the <span class="cmdname">Copy File (CPYF)</span> command and <span class="cmdname">Copy Source
File (CPYSRCF)</span> commands. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> For the <span class="cmdname">Copy From Query
File (CPYFRMQRYF)</span> and <span class="cmdname">Copy from Tape (CPYFRMTAP)</span> commands,
a DDM file name can be specified only on the TOFILE parameter; for the <span class="cmdname">Copy
to Tape (CPYTOTAP)</span> command, a DDM file name can be specified only
on the FROMFILE parameter.</div>
</li>
<li>When a delete-capable file is copied to a non-delete capable file, you
must specify COMPRESS(*YES), or an error message is sent and the job ends.</li>
<li>If the remote file name on a DDM file specifies a member name, the member
name specified for that file on the <span class="cmdname">Copy File (CPYF)</span> command
must be the same as the member name on the remote file name on the DDM file.
In addition, the <span class="cmdname">Override with Database File (OVRDBF)</span> command
cannot specify a member name that is different from the member name on the
remote file name on the DDM file.</li>
<li>If a DDM file does not specify a member name and if the <span class="cmdname">Override
with Database File (OVRDBF)</span> command specifies a member name for
the file, the <span class="cmdname">Copy File (CPYF)</span> command uses the member
name specified on the <span class="cmdname">OVRDBF</span> command.</li>
<li>If the TOFILE parameter is a DDM file that refers to a file
that does not exist, <span class="cmdname">CPYF</span> creates the file. Keep the following
special considerations for remote files created with the <span class="cmdname">Copy File
(CPYF)</span> command in mind: <ul><li>The user profile for the target DDM job must be authorized to the <span class="cmdname">Create
Physical File (CRTPF)</span> command on the application server (AS).</li>
<li>For an <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> target,
the TOFILE parameter has all the attributes of the FROMFILE parameter except
those described in the <a href="../dm/rbal3kickoff.htm">File
management</a> topic.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>When using TCP/IP, the second element of the RMTLOCNAME parameter of the <span class="cmdname">Create
Distributed Data Management File (CRTDDMF)</span> command must be *IP.</li>
</ul>
