Impact Analysis

To analyze the impact of changes, many organizations rely on data from a variety of sources, such as batch library scans and cross reference files. This method makes it difficult to maintain all sources of data and verify that they are current. ChangeMan ZMF provides a comprehensive facility to capture, query, and enforce relationships between components.

These relationships include not only the traditional ones, such as a source and executable relationship, but also other relationships based on common references to copybooks, SQL Include components, CA Panvalet® ++INCLUDE components, CA Librarian® - INC components, Called Subroutines, and JCL fields such as program name, procedure name, or data set name.
