Alan,


I have a similar set-up. Except that I refresh the Dev box nightly. I don't use DDM or SQL, but simply SaveFiles FTP-ed. Takes about 30 minutes for us (ymmv) to do that at 1:30 am.

Although I don't explode the libraries at that point, it would be a simple matter to invoke a process (RUNRMTCMD) from Prod to do that. Just be sure that, if you do that, the procedure in the RUNRMTCMD isn't the one that actually explodes the libraries but submits the real one to the job queue on Dev, otherwise Prod will stay connected to Dev; i.e., the Production process will be an active job until the remote command ends on Dev.


The problem that I have with automatically restoring the libraries is errors related to journals when I clear or delete the libraries before the restore. Primarily, though, I don't want it to wipe out "stuff" I've been developing and testing.

We have 2 boxes, one for PRODUCTION, the other one for DEVELOPMENT
Each weekend, using DDM, we refresh the DEVELOPMENT data from the
PRODUCTION box.
The past 3 weekends we have been having problems where one of the files has
not finished till late Monday/early Tuesday. This has resulted in a cleanup
of this file deleting some records that shouldn't be there otherwise we
have problems on the DEVELOPMENT box when we try and test any new changes
to the ORDER ENTRY system.
My question is
can SQL be used to directly create files ON the DEVELOPMENT box from the
same name files ON the PRODUCTION box?
If so, does anyone have any examples of what is required?


Thanks in advance
