Jerry, Your criteria sounds pretty much like something that SCLM can handle quite easily. There is an SCLM group available on Yahoo Groups, which the SCLM development team appear on, and that's a valuable resource for anyone who has to set up and maintain SCLM, the project definitions, and the language definitions which will be used to build all your elements.
You can find details on the SCLM group here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/SCLM/ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Support, DUNNIT SYSTEMS LTD. Sent: 11 February 2007 06:52 To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Need advice on implementing SCLM Time to standardize our change management procedures. We're looking into SCLM to accomplish this. Let me describe the application system we wish to migrate to SCLM. This app system runs on z/OS. It has batch and online source, copybook and load libraries. The files have the following naming convention: Batch: appname.version.libraryname Online: appname.version.IMS.libraryname We could change the library names if really necessary but we'd really rather not. The staff members that develop, modify, test and maintain the app system are an autonomous group, with everyone potentially taking part in all aspects of managing the apps in every aspect. So any team member can add, modify or delete any object in this system. They'll also be responsible for maintaining SCLM for their app system. At present, the general procedure implemented when making a change to these apps is very simplistic: 1. Modify the necessary code. 2. Compile. 3. Test. 4. Approve and move to production. I've begun reading through the SCLM General Reference manual. Getting some quickstart help from the experienced would be a great timesaver. At present, this is just a getting-acquainted test drive for us with SCLM, so if we make any mistakes or we configure it in a way that doesn't meet our needs, we can simply wipe the slate clean and start the experiment over again. TIA.
