What's new for IBM i 7.1

Read about new or significantly changed information for the Backing up your system topic collection.

Start of change

Automatic save of system information

Whenever library QUSRSYS is saved with the Save Library (SAVLIB) or Save Changed Objects (SAVCHGOBJ) commands, the current system information is retrieved and saved. The system information saved is the same data which is retrieved by the Retrieve System Information (RTVSYSINF) command. If a system needs to be reloaded from distribution media, the system information can be updated by restoring the user information and then running UPDSYSINF LIB(QUSRSYS). For more information, see Recovering system information.
