I am trying to figure out if a technique that works in a 'traditional'
As/400 green screen environment would work in OneWorld.
In a traditional environment with CL programs and RPG, there is a technique
where it's possible to archive old data to another library on disk and make
it selectively visible to certain production programs. This technique
allows you to get 18 of your 20 years sales history out of the way of
production (hence speeding up your machine) but still include it on the VP
of Sales 'Quarterly Report' (hence overcoming that one last dreadful
long-standing objection to purging). This technique involves tinkering with
the logical files, then either using an OVRDBF in the Quarterly Report CL or
manipulating your library list so that the program uses your new LF.
So... this works great in a 'traditional' environment.
Not being a OW jockey, I need to understand if there's an equivalent
technique in an As/400 based OneWorld environment.
After I create this logical file, how would I get selective programs to use
it instead of the 'vanilla' logical file? The goal is to leave the vast
majority of the programs alone - they are perfectly happy using the
slimmed-down, purged files. It's just the one or two exceptions (the
dreaded Quarterly Report, for example) that needs to see all 20 years
history.
Thanks.
