Intent is close to real time replication for application data for recovery to the point of failure rather than scheduled point in time. One item that concerns us is activity on JES spool and Checkpoint. It would be nice (maybe required) to have all the reports etc. generated during the day to be available in this setup. We do have a report distribution package (Mobius View:Direct) that stores reports on DASD that would be replicated but there exists the possibility of reports on spool that haven't been processed by our RDS. > >Does anyone out there currently replicate spool/checkpoint or is the activity prohibitive? > >Ken Porowski Ken - we use SRDF for our DR purposes also. We do replicate our spool/checkpoint volumes and in our expirence we have not had any problems. We also use View Direct for report storing. Basically, it is what it is. You get what was on the spool right at the first split. We haven't had a problem bringing up JES with a warm start either. But remember in an actual disaster, who knows where in the process it may be? It could die before the full cycle of replicated data, and possibly a RESTORE from your BCV's to your R2's may be needed prior to trying to IPL your DR system. But that is another subject. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me offline.
