Re: AS/400 Application Recovery Services

["alan shore" <SHOREA@xxxxxxxx>]

We use a company called Sungard for ALL our disaster recovery (UNIX boxes, 
mainframe, network, AS/400 etc.) We go through disaster recovery tests at least 
once a year for ALL our systems, not necessarily ALL at once. Needless to say, 
the system that provides the least amount of problems is the AS/400. However, 
saying that, I discovered with the last test that security access controlled by 
authorization lists was NOT applied, and according to IBM, this is how it 
should work. IBM then supplied me with a method/procedure that I need to 
implement. We were just fortunate (?) that this was not a problem with prior 
tests.
 As I've been told that this IBM supplied method/procedure is low on the totem 
pole, I will have to continue using the work-around that I formulated at the 
time of the last disaster recovery tests.  
The data center of theirs that we use is in Philadelphia. 
Please note, I am in no way connected with Sungard. Just trying to help

Are there any users who have disaster recovery plans in place for there
critical applications on the AS/400?  Do you know
know of anyone who provides disaster recovery services for applications on
the AS/400 or if such services are provided?
My AS/400 resides in Southwest Texas and this area is prone to Hurricanes
this time of year.  If such a thing happened, I
would like to send our Admin person along with the backup tapes and restore
them to another AS/400, provide a limited
number of our customers (all over the US) with access so that they could
continue with limited services.

Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Joyce
