 Refresh data from one AS/400 to another
AS/400, Production Servers, Development Servers
We have a production AS400 for our users and a test AS400 for our developers and we would like the data to match. Is there a way to refresh the data from the production box to the test box?

Hi,

Check whether Data Transfer utility is present in ur application. Using that, you can copy the Data from Production, Pseudo-production, and QA to Test environment. You can select the PolicY #, Product and Division.

Hi,

You should be able to use SAVRSTOBJ or SAVRSTLIB to save and restore between the 2 machines. Once you’ve done this once to get everything synchronized, you should be able to use SAVCHGOBJ to save to a save file to get your production changes and send the save file to your development machine.

Regards,

Martin Gilbert.

Jean43,

Another option; We have the same situation, but create save files of our production environment then thru FTP transfer the save files to our development system and then use rstobj and rstlib. I would be willing to share the code if you’re interested.

Hope this helps,

Gilly400 - would the SAVRSTOBJ or SAVRSTLIB work if we’re using BRMS? I’m new to BRMS and don’t know anything about it. Thanks.

Wpoulin - Sure, I’d like the code if you’re willing. Please send to jean.lynch@lactalis.us. Thanks.

Hi,

The SAVRST* commands work outside of BRMS - you don’t need BRMS to use them. BRMS shouldn’t have any effect on them.
