    Description

    A batch of item records were accidentally deleted  on Prod.  The items are still on Test.  How can I batch copy them from Test to Prod? 

    (Note:  Though this article describes the procedure for item records, it could be used for other records as well.)

    Resolution

     1. Use the file-03 Service to back up the current Production z30 (to the ./xxx50/files directory)

     2. Rename each ./xxx50/files/z30_seqax.tar.gz file to ./z30_seqax.tar.gz.save (to avoid confusion with the files copied from Test in step 6 below

     3. Run the file-03 Service for the z30 on Test to write the z30 records to the ./xxx50/files directory as z30_seqax.tar.gz files  (Note:  the file-03 Service can only back up the entire z30; there's no option to backup just certain records)

     4. Take each of the ./xxx50/files/z30_seqax.tar.gz files and unzip/untar it: 
          > gzip -d z30_seqax.tar.gz 
          > tar -xvf z30_seqax.tar 

     5. copy the desired records from the z30_seqax into a z30_seqaa.new file 

     6. ftp the z30_seqaa.new file to the Prod ./xxx50/files directory and rename it to z30_seqaa 

     7. run the file-06 Service, specifying "Add New Record" as the "Procedure to Run"
