Gerard, We are also pursuing this as a result of banking requirements here in the US regarding test access to production data(copied or direct)- data security. We are going to provide a mechanism to do this most likely utilizing dss dump, ftp, then dss restore(in some fashion - maybe panel driven). Whether they get queued up on a daily basis or not has not been decided.
What is in the air is whether or not application development groups get access to production data at all, or if it gets scrubbed first(account numbers, SSN's, etc). That is up to audit and compliance/risk here. It's a big project for us. Not sure where it will take us. Of course it annoys the developers as it is always easier to test against copies of live data, rather than creating test cases.
