We have test and production accounts on the same system, which is to say that they reside in different paths on HP-UX.
When the test account was first created, it was a clone of the production system with adjustments in various places to reflect the different paths.
But our main files, ORDERS, PAYMENTS, and some others, are distributed files, and the distribution algorithms are equivalent on both test and production, as are the number of partitions.
So, here are the questions:
a) Can I refresh the data on test by simply copying the individual data portions from production to test?
b) I recently fixed one broken file by copying the affected partfile from production to test, but maybe I didn't really. It seems to work, but maybe I'm missing something. I don't know for sure. How can I be sure?
c) And what about the stub files? Are there even stub files on UV? Do they contain the paths in which they were configured?
d) Where can I find the latest, on-line documentation about this?
