Refreshing your new system

When you use this method, you periodically rebuild your entire new system from the current information on your existing system.

To ensure that user data and system data are merged correctly, you must follow the same procedure that you used when you initially built your new system:

  1. Install the Licensed Internal Code from scratch.
  2. Install the IBM® i operating system.
  3. Restore user data.
  4. Install licensed programs.
Note: The preceding list is a conceptual view of the sequence. Use the checklists for the complete list of steps.

Before refreshing your new system, be sure to save the work that you have already performed on your new system. In particular, save any program objects that you have converted. After you have rebuilt the new system, restore these converted objects.
