Re: LPAR - What are the ways to refresh a partition containing test data?

["Al Barsa" <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would delete the libraries as you can, and then execute the SAVRSTLIB
command overnight..  It is in a free optional part of OS/400 called
ObjectConnect, of product option 22 of OS/400.

The system administrator in the shop where I am working is setting up a new
830 as our development/testing/production system, with partitions for each
environment.   Not having prior experience with partitioned systems, I'm
hoping that you guys can point us int the right direction.

He called me yesterday with the following question and comments:

What is the best way to refresh a test partition with data from the
production partition?  This includes all objects down to the "T".....this
includes IBM libraries, user libraries, documents, and everything else in
the IFS.  Pretty much, it HAS TO BE a replica of production when the users
come in on Monday morning.

I do not care to hear about purchasing a third party software like
DataMirror, I am looking for a poor man's solution.  My current plan
includes CLRLIB followed by a CPYLIB, then doing a restore of the SAVCHGOBJ
as time goes on.

Thanks in advance for your assistance...
