Re: how to test using MIMIX mirrored files

I came late on this topic but you could also end the applies only and you
would find that the locks go away.  However you need to remember to
activate the applies when you have finished coping the file.

Not with the locks Mimix is using.  However, you don't need to copy the
whole file.  Just the file structure and the records that you want to deal
with.  You can use cpyf or query to a outfile and then a cpyf.  You can
even use QTEMP (if your lib list is setup right!) so that when you signoff
you cleanup after yourself!!

 Thanks - but some of the prod files are very large, and a ten minute test
 would take days to run (not to mention filling up disk space).


 Isnt there any way to open an update file in RPG as input only for
 testing???


 ---------------------------------------------------------


 I want to run a test program using output files in my personal library,
 but
 with input from production data.  A convenient place to get production
 data
 is from copies of production files created by Mimix.


 Mimix has a lock condition of *EXCLRD for CUSTFILE.  The program I am
 testing opens CUSTFILE as update, but I want to OVRDBF FILE(CUSTFILE)
 INHWRT(*YES) so that any updates will be ignored.


 Unfortunately OS/400 will not allow this override to ignore updates - I
 cannot seem to get past the OPEN CUSTFILE in the RPG program.


 Is there a way I can use these files when testing my pgm changes???
