I cannot shut up anymore! What about DRP situation? Are there any guarantee the books (and internet) are available during DRP tests / realistic? We have for example two or more sets of Bookmanager in CD / DVD format. The contents were installed on various network servers, laptop / PCs, z/OS on various sites including DRP sites. Just tell me how to access that library server during a DRP situation (real or test) and then I will sleep peacefully. Of course, it is a PITA trying to download [1] all those books, shelves and indexes. I'm not really up to the challenge that I missed a prized book during a DRP! Ok, enough ranting! :-/ Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht [1] - Internet is not really that fast enough here in South Africa. But it is improving with all those new sea cables and new sattelites as well as new backbones and ISPs. We can perhaps watch YouTube/CNN/Space.Com/etc videos, but most of the time we pause the vid in the first few seconds and then wait for the download bar to fill up so about 3/4 of the length, then we can play it without any stutterings. That is if there are NO timeouts. I'm talking about videos not in HD format, but lower resolution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
