Panvalet

[davandyke]

currently we are responsible for SOX mainframe deployment and it appears we will probably not be able to upgrade from Pan 14.5 to something like Endevor or changman to automate our release process. Are there any automation options available for mass promotes/compiles through Panvalet. Currently have a Clist with REXX instructions and I don't wish pursue that method since it's difficult to maintain and support.

thanks,
dave

Hi,

We are working on the same thing. We are only on the promote at the moment - we use a file with all the programs to be promoted and use COBOL to read that file and populate JCL skeletons to perform each promote.

We hit a stumbling block with permissions:
This step works when the stage is the same HLQ (CCILP) as the prod but it doesn't work for this one.

//STEP4 EXEC PGM=PAN#1
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//PANDD1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CLFBK.STAGE.SOURCLIB
//PANDD2 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CCILP.PROD.SOURCLIB
//SYSIN DD *
++CONTROL 1
++CONTROL 1 A
++OPTION OUTPUT
++TRANSFER P900P008
/*

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hope this helps you.
thanks
