System i (i5/OS) Object Action

InstallAnywhere 2020 SP1

The System i (i5/OS) Object action enables one or more objects in the same library to be restored to an i5/OS system. At build time, the Save Objects (SAVOBJ) command is called to save the objects from the i5/OS build system. At install time, the Restore Objects (RSTOBJ) command is called to restore the objects to the target system.
