Hello George,
Scrambling of production data is very common these days.
In addition to the IBM and Compuware tools, Macro 4's InSync can provide the
type of data privacy functionality you're looking for. If cost is a factor
than
InSYnc is definitely worth a look.

George,
BCV5 copies and masks / scrambles production data for a test
environment. The product can do this while the data is being copied
which saves quite a bit of time. BCV5 is part of the BCV4, BCV5, BCV6
line of fast clone / copy / refresh solutions for the DB2 z/OS
environment. The

Another product to check out is Testbase, from Softbase. We have had good
success with this product.

There are over 5000 indexes to Tables in my clients production DB2
system which is a relatively small by industry standards.
But I must admit, I can't imagine how, in a mainframe environment, sensitive
data could be scrambled without losing referential integrity or how anyone
could cost
One thing to remember is that production data may not always be the best
test, as it may not contain all possible combinations of values in the
various fields. Just because it is production does not mean it is
comprehensive.

Testing with a full copy of production data is always best as well as
testing with a created set of data to test all possibilities (invalid
data tests too).

Part of what I look for in a good test is catching errors in the data. I always
try to put
some errors into the input data to make sure they don't get all the way through
into
production. I still catch errors in real production data because the developers
were lazy

I guess the great irony is how will we ever get it right if we scramble
the data, when we can't even get it right when it is unscrambled.
Of course I suppose, one could always argue that the production data is
already scrambled. :-)

IBM Optim can privatize production data for a test environment while
maintaining your application referential integrity. It works natively on
z/OS to create privatized complete clones or subsets of production data.
There is also a version for the distributed world.
