Re: copying libraries

The CPYLIB command will bring across all physicals and, then, all logicals. We do this every night to copy production to a test library.
One potential "gotcha" is, if there are LF's in the original library that point to a PF in a different library (say LIBB), they will still point to the PF in LIBB after the CPYLIB. One of many reasons for keeping PF's and LF's in the same library.
There may be other gotcha's, such as triggers, of which I am not aware. But the LF's will be copied.

Hello Everyone,



Tell me,   suppose I copy one library to another library (only data file
libraries),  will the copy pull all the objects over including the logical
files, or will I have to recreate the logicals and why?
Thanks 
Kathy
