Changeman is used in development enviroment, for easy version controlling of components
|
What will it do for me?
Allow a developer to capture a copy of the current production code (base version)
Provide a developer with different environments in which code can be tested
Allow a developer via the approval process to install the edited code into production
What team member will do when he/she given a task?
1. Create a package
2. CHECK OUT components from production/baseline (if that program already
exists) or STAGE a component (program/jcl/proc/dbb ....) after
developed the component in local directory into pakcage.
3. Edit/delete the components and sumit for compilation
4. For testing he can PROMOTE that package to testing region
| STEP 1 -- CREATING PACKAGE |
FOllowing screen is the CHANGE MAN mainscreen
Type 1 at option prompt, you will get following screen
Type 1 at OPTION prompt, you will be prompted with following screen
press ENTER,
It will show two screen, there you need to enter the details of package (usaually audit program
details). then it will careate the package name using APPLICATION type that you provided.
In our case it is - SRK1002833 (pakcage number)
| STEP 2 -- CHECK OUT (coping from baseline/production) |

next JCL WILL COME , NEXT JOB WILL BE SUBMITTED FOR COMPILATION OF COMPONENT
| STEP 4 - EDIT COMPONENTS IN CHANGE MAN |
TYPE 'E' TO EDIT , 'B' TO BROWSE the component , infront of the components
after editing , if you press f3 2 times, and press enter it will submit the job for compilation
After compiled the components in the change man , we need to promote it to respective region
Before doing this, you should know the region, in which you want to test
(region number you should know, usaully it is a number between 1 to 99)
Type C;3 in ispf menu you will get following screen,
