Save configuration information

Save your configuration objects.

Use the Save Configuration (SAVCFG) command or the SAVSYS (Save System) command to save configuration objects. The SAVCFG command does not require a restricted state. However, if your server is active, the SAVCFG command bypasses the following configuration objects:

When you save your configuration by using the SAVCFG command or the SAVSYS command, the server saves the following object types:
*CFGL *CTLD *NWID
*CNNL *DEVD *NWSD
*CIO *LIND *SRM
*COSD *MODD
*CRGM *NTBD  
Note: You might think of system information, such as system values and network attributes, as configuration information. However, the server does not store this type of information in configuration objects. The SAVCFG command does not save system information. The SAVSYS command saves it because the server stores it in the QSYS library.
