We are using Innovation's PAS to move DASD volumes from an older IBM DS8100 to an EMC VMAX. We've used PAS many times in the past for these migrations, but we did not use PAS in the last migration for CA-View & Deliver as we wanted the databases moved from mod-3's to mod-27's. This time the people who support CA-View & Deliver are being told that using PAS to move the databases could cause corruption in their database pointers if PAS is used while the applications are up.
When we contacted CA's tech support, their response was that only their utilities can be used to move their databases - I think it more likely that the technicians responding don't have a clue as to how PAS works and that this is the response typical of CA. We also reviewed the PAS manual and contacted Innovation directly - they have no known issues with moving these volumes. So I can move JESCKPT volumes while JES is up and running, but according to CA, not View & Deliver. I'm looking to see if anyone else in our community has any experiences in using PAS with CA-View & Deliver that they'd be willing to share. thanks in advance - dd keller This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
