Hi ,
we have a job in production which is getting aborted .This job will take a dataset as an input . This dataset is produced by another job.
In test environment , If i want the same dataset ( that is present in production ) to replicate the error .

I know that we can copy a dataset using orchadmin in same environment .Is there any other way to get that dataset available in test environment ( Otherwise i have to run many jobs in order to produce that particular dataset in test env ) .

Any suggestions are welcome .


Thank you all

you can write that data set to a seqential file on prod and copy it to test.

before you run the job write from seq file to a dataset on test.

may be an option atleast.

It's not possible to move a Data Set from one machine to another. All the pathnames in the control file will be wrong, and there's no mechanism for repairing them.
