DB2 z/OS Cloning Tool: Provide support to clone applications (tablespace cloning) using System Level Backup as input. RFE 123129

Description
 
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=123129

For database recovery and faster data backup's , we implement the system level backup utility.  The request is, to use this files as input files for tablespace cloning. This approach makes a seperate data extraction for tablespace cloning no longer necessary.


Use Case
 
Creating Database Environments for testing, developer testing and user acceptance testing.

    The Db2 Cloning Tool POC was not completed and has only 1 vote. Due to this reason, this idea will not be implemented.
