RE: Transferring Files Between LPAR's

[Bob.Voltz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Rob et. al.

We are using a separate LPAR for Testing.  I wanted to refresh just a 
couple of the test data files with production data.  Using FTP (after I 
figured out how) it only took 0.25 seconds to refresh a file.

Thanks, everyone for your help and suggestions.  This list is great!
==========================================================

1)  If it's programs etc, have your change management system do it.
2)  If it's data you can use SAVRST* but I discourage that because it's 
SNA based.
3)  FTP works pretty good.  You can write wrappers to do what SAVRST* did.
4)  For IFS stuff this works:
        md '/QFileSvr.400/OtherLpar'
        CPY OBJ('/mydir/myfile.txt') 
TODIR('/QFileSvr.400/OtherLpar/mynewdir')
5)  Keep in mind that a Virtual Lan configuration will blow the doors off 
of going out on your real lan and then back in.
6)  DDM?
7)  Tape
