RE: XAR6 Nightly Environment Copy

Bob!!!

How goes it? You may want to look at one of the enhancements they added last
year to restore and environment from a save file image. The download was
SH61680. From looking at the code it should be easy to run or schedule from
a command line. 

I have noted that the first job in a newly created environment seems to
fail, possibly due to initializing the MAPICS job number.

Good luck

Konrad

Subject: XAR6 Nightly Environment Copy


I have received a request to create an environment copy for testing and
simulating production changes. This needs to be done on a nightly basis.

The instructions from MAPICS Support have about 14 steps, most of which can
be put in a CL program, but a few need either a special program written or
to be done manually. Does anyone have a shortcut to the 14-step manual
process from MAPICS Support? We are using MAPICS XAR6. I don't want to leave
this manual process "as is" for my night shift person.

Regards,
Bob

PS: Just an interesting side note. We have a division that is running
Frontstep. There had been discussion about converting them to MAPICS or not.
I guess I can now report they are working with MAPICS ;-)
