Emergency Changes

Critical abends occur at inopportune times and require immediate attention. Because ChangeMan ZMF contains the ability to create Unplanned Change Packages, and the ability to maintain a separate list of approvers for unplanned changes, emergency changes are safe, fast and easy to perform. Additionally, because of the (optional) ability to concurrently check out components, ChangeMan ZMF provides notification to any developer affected by the change so that the emergency fix can be incorporated globally into all change packages.

ChangeMan ZMF does not impede the emergency change process by requiring that the component be released, reassigned, or renamed by the original owner.
