What kind of testing are you trying to do? There are date simulator products like HOURGLASS or I think Compuware has one. With these products your applications can pick a date and time to run in and not affect the rest of the environment.
Lizette <-------------- Snip -----------------------> We have a FLEX-ES box with a number of instances (sort of like lpars) and I would like to ipl one of the instances with a date some time in the future to do some testing. However, that instance would "touch" catalogs from our "production" instance which would be running with the current date. Is this a recipe for disaster or will I get away with it. <-------------- UnSnip -----------------------> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
