I agree with Dave in that movement of production data would be restricted at best.
That said, we use Flashcopy with good results. We also use FTP over Hipersockets. (Note: it seems that good FTP performance requires the proper settings be used, such as TYPE E, MODE C, and MTU appropriate for the hardware.) I would look at a solution where the 'scrubbed' data is stowed on a set of volumes that are flashed on a scheduled basis. HTH and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ceruti, Gerard G Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 7:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Moving data between Sysplex's Hi All We are planning to split our Sysplex into Dev and Prod, from the current setup where both Prod and Dev in one Sysplex. The Application people need to move data from Production to Dev at the start of each evening processing, what techniques are folks using to move data between their Sysplex's ?. We have a shared VTS , there is FTP, SCP, dump restore , what else ?. No idea of the volume just yet.
