Yes, I use git. I wrote a program that reads a list of PDS(E)s and copies all of their members to directories within a zFS filesystem. Those directories are within a git repository. After running that job, I use git status to determine what’s changed and then use git add and git commit. Then I can push the commit to our internal GitHub server. I have a clone of the repository on my workstation that I keep up-to-date with the GitHub server. The repository has separate sub-directories for each LPAR, so I can use diff on my workstation to see where things are different between LPARs. I haven’t done anything special to restore from earlier versions. If I needed to I could check out an earlier commit and then manually copy back to the PDS(E). -- Pew, Curtis G curtis....@austin.utexas.edu ITS Systems/Core/Administrative Services ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
