Run Multiple Releases

Sites may want to run more than one release of Optim™ at a given time. For example, you may wish to perform testing with the new release before switching your production system from the previous release.

Therefore, while you are testing the new release, the production system must continue to run with the previous release.

There is more than one way to handle this situation. The main issues to consider are the management of the ISPF and CLIST libraries and the management of the Directory and the product plan.
