Libraries

A library is both an object and a container for other object types.

There are two choices when you add a rule to the RCL for a library:
  1. The rule can apply to only the library object. Only the definition of the library will be replicated. This library rule must be specified as Definition only.
  2. The rule can apply to the library object plus all the replication-eligible objects within the library, unless a more specific rule is defined for the objects.

Some system libraries, including QGPL, QSYS, QTEMP, and QUSRSYS, are either not eligible for replication or have restrictions for object replication. To get the full list of restricted libraries, look in the RCL. See System defined rules for details. Additionally, any library that starts with the letter 'Q' is only replicated if a matching library rule is found within the RCL.
