Issue/Introduction

Can the production Teleview database be swapped with the Test Database? 

Resolution

There are two ways to swap your databases.

1. Select the OPER application in CA-Teleview. Select # 8, Halt or Start logons. Select # 11 issue SWAPDB Command. You will come to a screen that will show you your PROD and TEST database's. Hit ENTER to swap databases. While this is going on a halt logons will take place to prevent any new logons until the database is swapped. Then a Start logons will be preformed.
   
   
2. The second method of swapping databases is at the Operating Console you will issue the following command.
   
   F STEPNAME, SWAPDB
   
   Stepname = Where stepname is the system job name for the CA-Telview region.
   
   Again a Halt logons and then a Start logons will occur while this is happening to prevent logons while swapping databases
