14) CA GEN, CoolGEN and testing best practice

CA GEN, COOLGEN and testing best practice During testing normally there is a need to run monthly jobs, yearly jobs and jobs tied to some specific dates. This kind of testing is called date simulation. Best Practice: The date simulation can be brought about in two different ways: 1. For the client the system date can be set to the required date in the individual clients 2. For the server, the date exit routine TIRDATC/TIRDATX can be written in assembly to accept the date from a file. The input file can be updated to the required date before executing the job.
