Re: Duplicating a library.

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

We have physicals in one library & logicals in another library pointing at 
them ... actually a bit more complicated than that ... but basically if 
everything within a library points at other stuff in the same library, your 
reality is a whole lot simpler than with cross-overs.  Smaller disk space 
than your situation, but thousands of logicals involved.

The problems include ... you want to restore such that the copied logicals 
are pointing at the copied physicals with no logicals of test pointing at 
physicals of production or vica versa.  When restoring, or creating duplicate 
objects, you need to create the physicals before the logicals that point at 
them.
