Recompiling Source Components

When you attach a package to a release, you can recompile like-source components residing in area libraries in your release, in area libraries in prior releases, or in baseline libraries. You can also recompile from promotion libraries.

You can let ERO search for the latest version of the component in area libraries and baseline. See Searching Area Libraries for Latest for information on latest versions in ERO.

When a component is recompiled into a package attached to a release, the recompile SYSLIB DD statements include release area libraries that fit the rules that are specified in release administration.

Follow these steps to recompile like-source components into a package attached to a release. This example shows an online recompile process.

  1. Follow these steps to access the package that you want to recompile into.

    1. Type =7 on the Command or Option line of any panel in ChangeMan ZMF, then press Enter.

    2. Type release selection criteria in fields on the Release List Specifications Parameters panel, or leave the fields blank, and press Enter.

    3. The Release List panel is displayed.

      The Release List panel shows releases that:

      • Satisfy the selection criteria you typed on the Release List Parameters panel.

      • Have change packages attached to them.

    4. On the Release List panel, type line command PK on a release row to select the release that contains the package you want to recompile into. Press Enter, and the release - Release Package List panel is displayed.

    Field Description
    Option Type L to display the component - type Library List panel that shows baseline, promotion, and area libraries that contain the component specified in the Component Name and Library Type fields. You cannot use a pattern in the Component Name field if you use this option.
    Package Displays the package ID of the change package you are recompiling into.
    Component name Type the name of the component you want to recompile. Other options:

    Pattern   Build and display a filtered list of components from the origin library. You can select components to recompile from the list. Note: Do not type * by itself unless you want to recompile all components in the library.

    Blank   Display a list of all components in the origin library. You can select components to recompile from the list.

    *   Recompile all components in the library.
    Source library type Type the library type of the components you want to recompile. Leave this field blank to display a list of library types to select from.
    Library level Type an integer to indicate the baseline version or promotion level where you want to get the source to recompile. Note: If you type Y in Search Release Areas below, the contents of this field is ignored.

    0    Recompile from the current or 0 level baseline library.

    1 to 99   Integers from 1 to 99 mean recompile a future version in a promotion library. The integers are level numbers in a promotion site/level. If there are multiple promotion sites with the level number you specify, the Promotion Library Selection List panel is displayed, where you select one of the listed promotion libraries.

    Blank   You can leave this field blank if you type L in the Option field.
    If you type L in the Option field, the component - type Library List panel is displayed that shows you the baseline and promotion libraries that contain the component specified in the Component Name and Source Library Type fields. You can select a library on this list to check out from regardless of the version or level that you specified in the Library Level field.
    Recompile mode Type 1 or 2 to determine whether recompile is performed online with your terminal locked or in a batch job.
    1   Recompile components online.
    2   Recompile components in batch mode.
    Search release areas Used to determine whether release area libraries are included in the search for the component you want to recompile.

    Omit to recompile from area promotion libraries or baseline.
    Specify release area Used to determine whether recompile will display a library selection list.
    Select to display a selection list of area libraries and baseline that might contain the component(s) you want to recompile.
    Automatically search for latest.

    Type your entries on the Recompile Source panel, selecting option 1-Online for Recompile Mode, and press Enter.

  3. The next steps in the recompile process depend on the location of the source that is recompiled into your package. The location of the source depends on your settings for fields Search Release Areas and Specify Release Area on the Recompile Source panel as indicated in this table.

    Search Rel. Areas Specify Rel. Area Location of Source for Recompile / Next Steps
    Not selected Selected or not ERO recompiles source from a promotion or baseline library depending on the Library Level field setting. The next steps depend on what you specified in the Component Name field:

    Library type Displays the component library type and library type description.
    Dataset name Displays the name of the library you are recompiling from.

    If there is a designated procedure for the component being recompiled, and the Force Level in that procedure is 2, then the fields on the Online Recompile Job Information panel are presented in display mode. If the Force Level of the designated procedure is 1, you can restore the fields on this panel to the values required for freeze by typing ? in the Compile Procedure field.

    Field Description
    Language Type the source language. If you leave the Language field blank, the Language Selection List is displayed when you press Enter. If the Language field contains information when the panel is first displayed, the short ISPF message in the upper right corner of the panel tells you where the language was obtained:

    PRIOR ASSUMED   Obtained from a prior use of this panel for another component during your current ChangeMan ZMF session.
    Compile procedure Type the compile procedure to be used to recompile the component. Compile procedures are members in the ChangeMan ZMF skeleton library that are processed by ISPF file tailoring to create stage JCL. If you leave the Compile Procedure blank, but there is only one compile procedure defined for the specified language, the Compile Procedure field is filled automatically when you press Enter. If you leave the Compile Procedure field blank, and if there are multiple compile procedures defined in administration for the specified language, the Compile Procedure Selection List panel is displayed when you press Enter.
