The Change Restore Options display contains the following information:
v Installation profile
This field is an output-only field. The system automatically displays the installation profile name
(INSTALLX in the example) you created or chose on the Work with Installation Profiles display.
v System information
If you select option 1 (Restore), the system values are restored from the media. This is the
recommended option for installing a new iSeries server.
If you select option 2 (Do not restore), the system is installed with no change to the system values or
the network attributes that are currently on the system.
If you select option 3 (Target system default), the installation program decides which installation
option to use during the installation process (based on the state of the target system). This is the
recommended option for installing a new release.
Note: If you select option 3 (Target system default), you need to
verify the setting of the QALWOBJRST system value for
each target site system. To verify the setting, use the
WRKSYSVAL (Work with System Values) command on
each target site system. Make sure that this system value
is *ALL. If the QALWOBJRST system value is something
other than ALL, software installs from the distribution
media that is created using the target system default may
fail.
v Edit descriptions
If you select option 1 (Restore), the edit descriptions are loaded from the installation media. This is
the recommended option for installing a new iSeries server.
If you select option 2 (Do not restore), the system is installed with no change to the edit descriptions
currently on the system.
If you select option 3 (Target system default), the installation program decides which installation
option to use during the installation process (based on the state of the target system). This is the
recommended option for installing a new release.
v Message reply list
This is an input field.
If you select option 1 (Restore), the message reply list is loaded from the installation media. This is
the recommended option for installing a new iSeries server.
If you select option 2 (Do not restore), the system is installed with no change to the message reply
list currently on the system.
If you select option 3 (Target system default), the installation program decides which installation
option to use during the installation process (based on the state of the target system). This is the
recommended option for installing a new release.
v Job Descriptions
This is an input field.
If you select option 1 (Restore), the job descriptions are loaded from the installation media.
If you select option 2 (Keep customization), the job descriptions from the media are customized with
the values that existed on the system before the installation.
