Menu item 1: Ceate archiv (CRTARCHIVE)
This command is used to create an empty archive folder. You can choose between different archive-formats and methods of compression.
This display on you screen depends on the previousely entered parameters. This is shown by the expression "- only for ...". For example, the parameters that work with a destined file-system - easily detected by "- only for FS(*IFS)" and "- only for FS(*DB2)" - only visible if this is selected previousely.
CRTARCHIVE
The following parameters can be used when calling this command
Parameter | Description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
FS | Name of the filesystem where the archive is to be created.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
FORMAT | The format that should be used to create the archive.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
CMPTYPE | The method with which the archive is to be compressed. The selection depends on the selected archive-format. When using the special value *DEFAULT the system selects the default mmethod according to the selected archive type. Possible special values for Tar, Ar and Cpio:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SPEED | Only for FORMAT(*GZ) or COMPRESS(*GZ) i-effect is able to vary the algorithm in 9 different stages, beginning with "fast and not too compressed" up to "slow but highly compressed. By selecting 1 the program reaches its highest speed, by selecting 9 it reaches the highest compression, but it takes a lot longer. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
ARCFILE | Only for FS(*DB2) The qualified name of the archive-file to be created. With this name, a physical file is created in the library that equivalates the empty archive of the given format.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
ARCASP | Specifies the auxiliary storage pool (ASP) device name where storage is allocated for the library containing the object to be used (the ARCFILE parameter). If the library is in an ASP that is not part of the thread's library name space, this parameter must be specified to ensure the correct object is used. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
ARCPATH | Nur bei FS (*IFS) Name of the archive-file to be created as a complete path (i.e. /usr/usrlib1/test.zip). With this name on the given path a file is created that equivalates the empty archive with the given format.. The following variables are accessible in any combinations. The the according path is going to be generated automatically:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
RCDLEN | Specifies the length (in bytes) of the records stored in the physical file. A value ranging from 1 through 32766 bytes can be specified for the record length. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SIZE | Specifies the initial number of records in each member of the file, the number of records for each increment added to the member, and the number of times the increment is automatically applied. The number of records for each file member is specified as the number of records that can be | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
STMFCODPAG | The STMFCODPAG (Stream File Code Page) parameter allows you to determinethe way in which i-effect will convert data from the format in which it is held on the iSeries (typically EBCDIC) to an appropriate format in the stream file (typically ASCII). The rules used for deciding how iSeries data should be converted are complex, and depend on numerous factors, including the stream file format being created (as specified on the TOFMT parameter). In particular, PDF implements its own rules with regard to data encoding and these are followed in all instances. The value specified on the STMFCODPAG parameter is therefore ignored in relation to PDF creation and CVTSPL will convert the spooled file contents and all other data (such as the values specified on the TITLE or KEYWORDS parameters) to a format compatible with PDF. You can use one of the special values: *WINDOWS *PCASCII *ISOASCII *STDASCII |
