CHANGE MAN
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)
Changeman Mainscreen
Type 1 at option prompt, you will get following screen

Press ENTER to process; Enter END command to exit.
The component (program/copybook etc...) that you entered will be
copied to your package SRK1002833
STEP 3 - STAGING (coping component from local pds)

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
STEP 5 - PROMOTION
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)
