Re: BPCS 6.1 Test environment

[Alister Wm Macintyre <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Creating a test environment is not a task for beginners.
I strongly suggest that you consult with your tech support company to make 
sure that the instructions that you are following ar in fact valid.

Several things need to be different in the test environment than in the 
live environment.

You want all the files different, not cross connected.
DSPDBR if I remember correctly is the command to verify that your logicals 
are the right ones for your physicals ... depending on how you copy your 
test data, you can end up with data updates not in the environment that you 
intended.

Software could be the same, provided no files inside your software libraries.

There are security issues related to setup where the person doing the setup 
needs to be using a higher level security than normal BPCS users.

Can you find on your system a file called BPCSDOC?
Can you find in that file a member called SSALOG00?
Can you print that out, using PDM for example?
