Re: BPCS test system

Hi Michael,

Look in the BPCS Logic manual (SSALOG00, supplied as part of BPCS via the
DOC menu) for how to create an additional BPCS environment. Normal way is to
copy BPCSUSR lib, (renaming the libs to reflect the new environment, e.g.
BPCSUSRT) then the BPCSF lib using CRTDUPOBJ with data *No, but use *Yes for
ZPA, ZSC and associated files, ZSO, ITE, ZUT. Note for V6 if you have the
conversion library there is a pgm to do these and other files, called
CRTBPCSF.
Then change the data area INLIBL in the BPCSUSR lib to reflect the new
library names, also the Jobds BPCS and BPCSJOBD in BPCSUSR. Change the
BPCSMENU pgm in BPCSUSR to reflect the new initial library name. Change the
SSASYS and SSASYS2 data areas again to reflect new lib names.
Change whatever your user signs on with to run the new BPCSMENU pgm from the
BPCSUSRT or whatever library. But check the SSALOG00 for your version.
Assuming you have Mixed Mode...
If you can't find the BPCS Documentation in DOC, you might need to run the
generation first.

Hope this helps,

Clare
