Greetings y’all!

We currently have a development environment that I would like to have, on a regular cadence, updated with production data.

Are any of y’all doing that know?  I’m being told by our VAR that it is next to impossible to do.

We regularly do this with EclipseIDE. We have two ways of doing it. First, by creating a installation script to copy the data, dictionaries, VOC items, and whatever else from production to development. Secondly, we use COPY/PASTE in EclipseIDE to copy the data and dictionaries by hand. Since UOJ uses Data Set technology, the copy is several times faster than using the COPY command from TCL/ECL.
