All, Most/all shops have a production job scheduling system(TWS, CA-7, etc). What I am wondering is if any shops also have a "test" job scheduling system? For example, we have developers that want to mimic a production run with their test jobs. We don't provide such a thing now, but have been tossing the idea around. A lot of questions come up, mainly around that areas of:
- Who is responsible to maintain? Don't really want our operations analysts who are responsible for production to have to mess with "test" - Clean up? Seems like test jobs would be scheduled to run, but never cleaned up/discontinued. Could be a waste of resources. Seems like there are a lot of pitfalls to providing this service, but also some potential benefits. I'd be curious to hear how other shops handle this? _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Engineering [email protected] 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB2H p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.2717 This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
