Copy objects

You can copy objects to and from the QNetWare file system by using iSeries™ Navigator or by using integrated file system copy commands. You can copy QNetWare file system objects into other file systems that support stream files (for example, "root", QOpenSys or QDLS). However, because no conversion is done, the resulting file in the QNetWare file system may not be useful. You can also copy objects within the QNetWare file system; that is, from one server to another.

When you copy files between other file systems and QNetWare, the authorizations are also copied, if possible. Because a trustee assignment on a file or directory overrides any inherited rights, the result might be more or less authority than wanted. After you perform a CPY or MOV, check the resulting authority by using the Display Authority (DSPAUT) command. You can find a complete list of integrated file system commands in the Integrated file system articles. .

You can see these examples:

• Copying a file that needs no conversion.
• Copying a database file that has packed decimal fields that you must convert.
• Copying and converting a database file by using an ILE C for iSeries program..
