RE: BPCS test system

I disagree SSASYS and SSASYS2 data areas are in the files library and
not the object library. You are correct you did over simplify the issue.

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.
