Re: PAX command to copy /etc not working as expected
Just curious...how is that different than my last example: pax -rvwk -pe /ServerPac/zOS_Rx/etc/* /Service/ImageX/etc versus (cd /ServerPac/zOS_Rx/etc; pax -rvwk -pe * /Service/ImageX/etc) I'm not really sure. My interpretation of the pax documentation was that the from path as specified in the command was copied to the to subdirectory in its totality. My method did a cd to the from subdirectory and did not include its name in the pax command. This is what was different. I am more of a GNU tar user. It has a way around this by using the -C or --directory= option. It does not appear that pax has anything similar. John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology Thank you for pointing out this discrepancy in the z/OS Migration book. I'll get it corrected in the next level of the book (to use the cd command first). -Marna Walle z/OS Build and Install (and technical owner of the z/OS Migration book) IBM Poughkeepsie -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: PAX command to copy /etc not working as expected
The z/OS 1.6 migration guide tells me that I can run this pax command to copy/noreplace my new z/OS 1.6 /etc to a copy of my old /etc pax -rvwk -pe /ServerPac/zOS_Rx/etc /Service/ImageX/etc However, when I run this, I end up with this: /Service/ImageX/etc/ServerPac/zOS_Rx/etc (the source directory is under the target directory) I ran into the same problem just today. FYI, I found apar OA02911 on this very problem.

PAX command to copy /etc not working as expected
The z/OS 1.6 migration guide tells me that I can run this pax command to copy/noreplace my new z/OS 1.6 /etc to a copy of my old /etc pax -rvwk -pe /ServerPac/zOS_Rx/etc /Service/ImageX/etc However, when I run this, I end up with this: /Service/ImageX/etc/ServerPac/zOS_Rx/etc (the source directory is under the target directory) I want to end up with the new files, dirs etc. placed in /Service/ImageX/etc I tried variations on the pax commandlike below, but none changed the symptom. pax -rvwk -pe /ServerPac/zOS_Rx/etc//Service/ImageX/etc pax -rvwk -pe /ServerPac/zOS_Rx/etc/* /Service/ImageX/etc Any ideas??
