Hi
By "system refresh", you probably mean refresh app + Sybase ASE 15.7 database.
Regarding refreshing the Sybase ASE if the platform is HP-UX on quality and prod systems, one procedure could be:
1) dump the prod database to a dump file
then
2) load the dump file to the quality database
commands to do that are:
--in prod db
dump database <db_name> to "/path/filename" with compression=<compression_level>
go
-- in quality db
load database <db_name> from "/path/filename"
go
Note: if the database is really big and/or you have disk space constraints, it may be good to dump the database to multiple files/stripes. see the "stripe" option of "dump database" in the link below:
