Resilience testing has become a core requirement — from penetration testing and threat-led assessments to disaster recovery exercises and continuity planning. But these activities depend on production-identical environments, and creating them on Db2 on z/OS is traditionally slow, complex, and disruptive.

BCV4 offers a different approach. Instead of relying on long utility-driven processes, BCV4 clones complete Db2 subsystems — including structures, permissions, and metadata — in minutes and without any impact on live operations. This allows mainframe teams to provide realistic, consistent test systems whenever they’re needed.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how BCV4 helps you:

• Clone entire Db2 subsystems rapidly using volume-level techniques
• Avoid downtime by leveraging FlashCopy, ShadowImage, TimeFinder, or ADRDSSU
• Deliver production-identical environments for penetration testing, DR drills, continuity exercises, QA, and performance testing
• Refresh test and resilience systems consistently and repeatably

As operational resilience expectations continue to rise, BCV4 gives Db2 on z/OS teams a fast, reliable way to deliver the environments required for today’s testing and assurance practices — without the time, CPU usage, or complexity of traditional methods.
