RE: [SYSTEM21] Test Environment

Andrei,

When you write "...(being a partition you use the same old licenses)..." do you 
mean that in that QUALITY partition, you use the same authorization codes as 
you do in your PROD partition?

Another option ... if your shop can afford it ...

Our system is split in several logical partitions (LPARs). S21 uses two of
them, one for PROD another for QUALITY (TEST). Their image is absolutely
identical, so we can test GEAC jobs as much as we want in QUALITY, without
affecting in any way the PROD env. You can count multiple benefits of this
architecture, from license duplication (being a partition you use the same
old licenses) to CPU optimization, from OS upgrades to S21 uplifts & SP,
from security issues to policy compliance, from development control to ease
of refreshes, and so on.

The only drawback I see on this scenario is your need of a decent system to
be able to split it and do it all.

We only duplicated the objects that we needed to.  Rather than creating a
bunch of new libraries for each environment (and then adding them all to
the
library lists which were maxing out in space already), we placed all of
these objects for the environment in a single library called something like
OSLTEST or OSLDEV (We had both for a while).

You will need to add this library to each library list in the environment.
