Re: Isolated environment

Bill,

I would not assume that library lists cannot accomplish what you need.  Using 
authority you can certainly prevent your developers from updating production 
data unintentionally.  We use a combination of adopted authority and routing 
programs to accomplish this.  We have been using this for about 10 years, and 
have not had any problems.  I attended a presentation by Steve Glanstein at  
Common that describes this type of environment.  I think he called it resource 
based authority.

We are trying to set up an isolated environment to do program 
testing/development. Can this be done using the ASP's or will we need to get a 
separate AS400 or wait for the multiple virtual machines due 
out next year. We are afraid that library lists won't quite give us enough 
protection.

If we can use a separate ASP, what would be the way to do it? Does it require a 
separate operating system on both sides, how would one get data from one side 
to the other?
