Rapid Fire - Copying live data on IBM i
Do you have files with millions or even billions of records? Imagine you have to change such a file e.g. a new field has to be added. Maybe your system is really fast and you have the time to install that change at the weekend. But what to do if your shop must be available almost 24/7? In this case it is required to reduce the downtime as much as possible.
That is where Rapid Fire comes in play. Rapid Fire reduces the downtime of your system to a minimum. Instead of shutting down the system for hours or even days you will be offline for a couple of minutes.
Further information about Rapid Fire are available on the Rapid Fire Site.
Please refer to the Rapid Fire Version History document to find out which operating system release is required for installing the Rapid Fire library.
