We have a project which wants to copy about 1tb of data from prod to dev. All the data will be in the same EMC DMX. All the data will be in the same sysplex/SMSplex. The datasets will be renamed when copied. The data is DB2 and IMS - so lots of little files. The process will be repeated every 1-2 months. Minimal outage to the source (prod) is required..
We have looked at EMC Timefinder SNAP at dataset level but there is a bug whereby it seems to randomly rename the target dataset. Problem is with EMC but little progress. We also have FDRABR and FDRinstant (from Innovation) which we currently use for our backups. We are looking at FDRCOPY and it seems similar to Timefinder SNAP but it works. Does anyone else do something similar? Any problems? Things to look out for?
