The SAVPPDQ command is provided to allow you to save the Cobwebb queue to a Save File.   This can be found from the Cobwebb Fax & Email Menu - System Maintenance - Housekeeping Menu - Option 2.

You might wish to run this command prior to running the CLRPPDQ command to remove old entries.

If you then wanted to view old entries you would need to restore the Save File to a NEW library (NOT CPPD) then add this library to your library list (use ADDLIBLE NNNN where NNNN is your new library name). When you select "Option 4 - Work with Queue from the CPPD Fax and Email menu" you will be looking at the saved queue entries.

Note: You will only be able to view these entries.

The Cobwebb subsystem CPPD should be stopped while saving queue records.

The following files will be saved:

You should include this in your day-end or week-end job routine by creating a Scheduled Job - see Schedule Housekeeping.  If you wish to restore a previously saved queue you would need to use the RSTPPDQ command.

SAVPPDQ Options

You need to define the following parameters:

SAVLIB - Save file library

From version 6.2.30 you will no longer see this entry as the required objects are now saved directly from library CPPD. This has been left as a hidden entry in the command for backward compatibility so that any schedule jobs will still run successfully.

This is the name that will be given to a temporary library used in the SAVPPDQ command which will be deleted when the Save File has been created. This library must not already exist. NOTE: You will need to use this library name as the "Saved library" if you wish to restore the library from the saved file.

SAVF - Save file

Enter a meaningful name for your Save File perhaps incorporating the date for future reference. This will make it easier to work out which Save File contains which queue records if you need to restore the file and look at the records. This file must not already exist.

LIB - Library

Enter the name of the library where you wish your Save File containing the queue entries to be saved. This library must exist.

REPL - Replace existing save file

If a save file already exists with the above name then you can use this option to overwrite the existing file. Choose *YES to overwrite or *NO to force a new name.
