Starting a new thread...just because. So does anyone have an experience actually using this? Do you have Enterprise Edition? Does each developer have a zD&T "instance"? Do you build an "image" from an existing mainframe z/OS environment and then have the developers deploy that image to their personal instance? What about testers? On https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSTQBD_12.0.0/com.ibm.zsys.rdt.tools.user.guide.doc/topics/provisioning.html is states "This process can be done by any application programmer or tester on-demand whenever they need a new environment." That seems almost too good to be true! What if a developer needs to create new resources for their environment, i.e. files, DB2 tables, IMS databases and PSBs, MQ queues et al? Do those get created by system programmers on the source image and then deployed by the developer to their personal instance, or what? How much work is it to get data moved from the mainframe to a development instance? It all sounds great in theory, but I'd love to hear about some real world usage.
