ABSTRACT:
A system emulation tool and method provides a user interface having various options that are selectable by a user for exporting environment information from one or more target database systems. The user interface in one arrangement includes multiple screens that are invoked in response to user action. Exported data from the one or more target database systems is stored in corresponding files. The user interface of the system emulation tool also provides options to enable a user to import the environment information to a test system. In the test system, the environment information is used to create an environment that emulates the environment of the target database system.
