Abstract
In a production environment, an entry is logged in a log journal to represent a read operation on a record of a file. A problematic transaction in a batch job is selected and set of operations performed by the problematic transaction is intercepted. The set includes a combination of read, write, update, delete operations, and operations that use external resources. A window of entries is determined in the log journal where the entry is a beginning entry in the window and an ending entry is a last entry captured in the log journal before detecting the error. From the window, those entries are filtered that correspond to the record. A final value of the record is copied from the production environment to a development environment and rolled back in the development environment to an initial value stored in the beginning entry. The problematic transaction is performed in the development environment.
