It depends on what kind of HA scenario you need. Vision just bought up its
competition, and IBM just acquired DataMirror. If you want to go with an
every XX minute update of the backup machine, check out what used to be
called Mimix DR1. I'm not sure what Vision will call it. It's easy to set
up, and once you've got it going, it doesn't require attention. The
attraction for my client was the price - $2500 for each machine.

Subject: Multi-computer techniques

I'm sure those of you who work with multiple systems will find this
question elementary but I have worked on a single AS400 for 17 years and
never had to think about another system.

Soon we will be getting two new machines and will have to keep files
consistent between them.

So if I update a file on SYS1 what is a good technique to get SYS2
updated?

I know I could use FTP but that seems archaic. In the late 1980s I
worked on VAX systems and we simply prefixed a file name with the system
name and the operating system took care of the details. Like copy
SYS1::LIB/FILE to SYS2::LIB/FILE.

Is there anything like that on our beloved computer?

Thanks,
Greg
