RE: XAR6 Nightly Environment Copy

Some interesting ideas.

I am going to load SH61680 and look into that. I expect it has the same
problem for me as just creating the environment new every night. That is,
the environment being created must not already exist. I am a little
concerned about having my night shift delete an environment so he can create
one ;-)

The save restore plan looks a little like the MAPICS plan, only a little
simpler. Being one of those people just expected to learn the hard way -with
little or no training-, I do not know anything about journals or adding
routings. I haven't had to figure that one out until now. That was probably
the biggest unknown I saw in the MAPICS instructions. MAPICS instructs you
to use the CAS options to stop and start journaling and add routings. Are
these acts really that simple outside of CAS? They don't appear to be.

I think I have the triggers under control. I have had to deal with those a
little, so I have had to learn some of that. But thanks for the warning.

Thanks to all that have responded. Any other ideas will also be appreciated.
