Have you tried SAVRSTLIB using the (no charge) ObjectConnect feature (part
22) of OS/400 ?

Since we have hundreds of related files in our ap's we use SAVLIB/RSTLIB.
And with a two 3590's being used by 3 iSeries it goes pretty quick.

I have a somewhat-related question.
Today, we have a single box with production and test libraries. It works,
but is scary sometimes. During the next upgrade cycle (6-12 months away)
we
plan to either 1) upgrade to a bigger box to LPAR or 2) upgrade a little
less and get a separate development machine.
I am interested in a strategy to refresh the test database from
production.
I'm leaning toward DDM, but haven't used it before. Does it make near
real-time updates, or batched? Can it be batched or periodic updates? We
have some fairly large and high-volume files we would keep updated. I'm
not
looking toward a mirroring solution today, just a way to get data from a
production machine/partition to a test machine/partition.

TIA,
Loyd
