RE: bpcs test system

We are bpcs 6.04. 

We have a pretty straightforward set-up and this is probably an 
oversimplification. SO WARNING -  there may be other issues that you have that 
we would not.

For us we have two data libraries (Native BPCS and our customer files). We ONLY 
restore these data libraries; with the exception of these files: 
        ZSC ZXM ZXO ZXP ZXU ZMA
This comes with a cost ; occasionally folks put something in these files in 
production and don't have the same entries in test system

Source moves from our test to production so we don't move programs.

We use the same data areas in production as in test. 

Data areas for BPCS are in our program libraries.

The only real problems we have had is if someone has a test file not promoted 
(they have to set up the file again) or if they have not promoted a sys105 
table (it will be lost). We announce the move loudly and clearly and really 
only do several per year.
