The answer is no for IBM i save/restore mechanism. But if the objects involved here are physical files or source physical files, you can export them into text stream files of a common format (such as CSV) using CPYTOIMPF or IBM i ACS File Transfer and import them into V7R1 system. If there are very many files, CPYTOIMPF and CPYFRMIMPF may be a better way as you can write a CL program to help with the process.

On the subject of savefiles, please remember to specify the TGTRLS parameter on the SAVLIB/SAVOBJ command, if you want the savefile to be readable on a prior IBM i release.
As of IBM i 7.5, the parameter allows these options:
Target release . . . . . . . . . *CURRENT *CURRENT *PRV V7R3M0 V7R4M0 V7R5M0
So if the receiver of the savefile has IBM i 7.3, the save command MUST have this parameter: TGTRLS(V7R3M0).
Best regards,
Christian

Dear Roy
Please provide more decriptive information about this "package" and "how" it is sent to the vendor - a step by step description would be informative for us. For example, do you use an IBM i save file into which you save the package's content and send the save file to the vendor after downloading the save file to your PC with FTP (since you asked about TCP) and the vendor informs that they cannot restore the content from the save file? If so, you need to be aware that a save file can be FTP out of and into IBM i BUT it MUST be in BINARY mode only (which happens NOT to be the default mode for an FTP session and you need to explicitly specify this mode in the FTP session before doing PUT or GET) to preserve the content of the save file.
If the problem happens within your application environment (as opposed to IBM i environment - e.g. command line), then looking into the job log may provide you with useful clue of the issue.

Not being able to send packages of data back to third party vendor. Could this be TCP related?

Dear Roy
You need to supply some contextual information of the issue. For example, at the time when the online service did not work, do you see any error message(s) in the relevant job log, or in QSYSOPR message queue, or from DSPLOG command? What exactly in the online services did not work? A description of the symptom would be useful. What about background information of the services themselves?

Why would customer online services work on OS V7R4 and not V7R5. Online services worked all the way from V7R1 thru V7R4 but not on V7R5. Any answer for this? Will await your replies.
