RE: Multiple AS/400s on a TCP/IP network

We have a similar configuration here, with a separate '400 just for Y2K
testing.  We keep all source on our development machine (a 170) and use
Aldon's Change Management System to control the movement of objects to
our production environment.  It has been in place about 6 months and
seems to work well.

        We're making the move that many of you have already gone through
[CISC--->RISC],
        and have also decided to separate development from production.
That brings up
        the issues around multiple systems. I want to get a handle on
the various ways
        to move DATA, OBJECTS, etc between systems, and also to be able
to EXECUTE
        commands on one from the other.

        We're coming from V3R2 and will be on V4R3 on the new boxes
[TCP/IP network].

        I know that SNADS has some of these features. TELNET is
available as well as FTP
        between the systems, and I'm sure others.

        I'd like to hear from some of you that have this type of
environment. Eventually
        we'll likely only have source on one of the systems, but
managing source, test
        data, program installations, user profiles, submitting jobs of
various types,
        etc, are the types of things I'm referring to.

        Thanks in advance.
