Merging to an SQL server
One user writes, "My company has been bought by another company, and the plans are to merge our systems to theirs within the year. We are programming in RPG -- using JD Edwards software.

Automate disaster recovery restores
by Rich Loeber
Part of the job of a security officer is creating, maintaining and
testing your disaster recovery plan. A major part of disaster
recovery is recreating your computing environment on a completely
different system, and that always involves data and program restores.
You might be one of the fortunate ones that has access to a
comprehensive third-party save/restore application that automates the
disaster recovery restore process for you. If you're in that group,
this article is not for you. But, if you're a small- to medium-sized
shop that can't afford (or won't consider) one of those products,
then you're on your own to create a workable disaster recovery
method. |

Programmer tip:
Take control of your job logs
A job log is invaluable in determining the cause of a problem when a job ends abnormally. If not properly managed, though, job logs can eat up huge amounts of system storage. Understanding how job logs are generated is the first step to understanding how to manage them.
