Re: LPAR - What are the ways to refresh a partition containing test data?

You might look at the SAVRST* commands that are part of ObjectConnect (free
option of SS1 that needs to be installed). This includes

SAVRST      QSYS        Save Restore
SAVRSTCFG   QSYS        Save Restore Configuration
SAVRSTCHG   QSYS        Save Restore Changed Objects
SAVRSTDLO   QSYS        Save Restore Doc/Lib Object
SAVRSTLIB   QSYS        Save Restore Library
SAVRSTOBJ   QSYS        Save Restore Object

These all have the same change date parameters that the normal commands have.
