Re: which release should we goto.

A heads-up about refreshing your test environment... Last time I created a test environment I did it by using the "Create from a disk backup" option. This has worked for me in the past without problems but this time it ended journaling in the from (i.e. live) environment. This caused numerous problems, seems to be caused by something in PCM 2110 ? Search for KB 1145201 in the knowledgebase.

We're still on R9.0 although we are planning to move to R9.1 'soon'.

Regards,
Phil

Everyone,
Outside of applying PCM 2390 any other issues going from R9 to R9.1 ? We applied a multi-currency PTF that was specific for getting multi-currency installed and needed for R9.1 migration. The PTF impacted our scheduled MRP nightly job runs causing data-decimal error when the job was submitted to PGM: AMICK. Something changed on the LDA changing MLTWH zoned 1,0 now has a blank causing the data-decimal error.

What client level are you on? Just to verify. We are one or two weekends from moving forward with R9.1.
Does anyone have test scripts created for testing production to test environment verification or do you just log on to test and manually test application and results for test verification?

Another question now that were discussing R9.1 What is the best and easy method of refreshing our test environment. I followed the dialog between restore from tape to test as well as comments of using XA's environment transfer feature on Link Manager. How does the environment transfer work? Can this be scheduled? I'd like to refresh my environment weekly or even daily if I can setup as a schedule job.
Thanks, all. Jim
