I am not slamming anything or anyone - just asking a question.
How can stating facts be taken as slamming?
You asked a question "I fail to see how having only 1 level of libraries matter. "
And I tried to answer it.
If my response is incorrect, please state what is incorrect instead of attacking me.

Joel -
Perhaps you need to better understand how naming conventions work, instead
of slamming the best and most secure machine and operating system ever
created...
You are not going to make any friend or get much assistance here with your
attitude.

"I fail to see how having only 1 level of libraries matter. "
One level of hierarchy seems antiquated in that all other OS's allow many
levels.
For example, any other OS could have the following folders:
PROD env
-----
JDE 9.0 containing program lib + data lib + config lib etc
JDE 8.0 containing program lib + data lib + config lib etc
SAP 2.0 containing program lib + data lib + config lib etc
Lawson 3.0 containing program lib + data lib + config lib etc
TEST env
------
Ditto above
DEV env
-----
Ditto above
It doesn't seem possible to do this on iseries as a library cannot have a
hierarchal group above or below, only one level is allowed. So people use
multiple LPARs or boxes to get around this constraint that doesn't exist on
other OS's.

I've worked in all three types...just depends on the size of the company.
I fail to see how having only 1 level of libraries matter. For that
matter, every single RDBMS I'm familiar with only allows a single level of
schemas.
Once the shop gets big enough, separate LPARs or boxes is probably most
common.

What constitutes separate DEV, TEST, & PROD environments at your
organization?
Must they exist on separate LPARS? Separate boxes?
Or can they all exist on one LPAR with adequate border fences?
Would it be practical to exist on one LPAR and still comply with SOX and
GAAP and a typical big auditing company's security audit?
Or is that not possible in the Iseries world with the antiquated only one
level of libraries and such?
Thanks in advance!
