You still end up with a major syncing problem using either Shmuel's or my previous suggestion.
I personally have 1 set of target zones and a "canned" job to build an new sysres from scratch using the SMP/E targets as the source. I am happy to share the JCL if you would like.

Unless you trust the sender, Don’t click links or open attachments as it may be a Phishing email, which can steal your Information and compromise your Computer.] So I've been reviewing the options you all have so kindly shares zonecopy, zonemerge, zoneexport....and it seems obvious you need to be careful of the DDDEFs and renaming of datasets. If not careful you can really screw up and overlay one environment. While simplistic and perhaps slightly more work.....I am wondering if one "safe" way is to simply re-receive and re-apply the maintenance on the next environment when needed? thanks Bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ::DISCLAIMER:: ________________________________ The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
