Re: Moving data between Sysplex's
Gerard, Wouldn't the easiest way be to use Shadowimage, Flashcopy, or Timefinder depending on which storage vendor you are using?

Re: Moving data between Sysplex's
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.

Re: Moving data between Sysplex's
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: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU 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.
