Using the M+R Option to Reapply Customization

Execute this procedure to set up the ChangeMan ZMF M+R Option to merge your modifications from the ZMF release from which you are migrating into version 8.3 components.

  1. Log in to ChangeMan ZMF. On the ChangeMan(R) Primary Option Menu (CMN@PRIM), select option C (M+R). The first time you select the M+R Option, the Reconcile (CDFPANEL) panel is displayed.

000001 WELCOME to Merge+Reconcile (M+R) from Serena Software, Inc. 
000002 
000003 The M+R walk-through consists of tutorial text and reconciliation 
000004 actions that can be browsed and/or executed on the same panel so that 
000005 you can immediately try any discussed primary or line command. 
000006 
000007 The Reconcile panel looks like the ISPF/PDF Edit panel and executes 
000008 almost all ISPF/PDF commands. Both have a line command area (first 6 
000009 characters on a line) and a data area which is scrollable. 
000010 The 3rd line on both panels is reserved for the long text of a message 
000011 in case you need it; meanwhile, M+R uses it to relate the nicknames 
000012 of the derivative versions with their one-character IDs. 
000013 The first record (with 000000 number) is created by M+R to register the 
000014 date and time of the reconciliation, and the dataset name of the Base 
000015 version. 
000016 
000017 The Reconcile panel displays the result of the comparison and merging 
000018 of the versions, and marks the differences in the line command area: 
000019 
000020 -records COMMON in all the versions have their sequence numbers 
000021 displayed in the command area; 
000022 -records in the Base version that are MISSING in some derivatives are 
000023 marked with the "less" symbol '<' and the IDs of those derivatives; 
000024 -records in some derivatives that are ADDED (i.e. missing in the Base 
000025 version) are marked with the "greater" symbol '>' and the IDs of 
000026 those derivatives; 
000027 -records in some derivatives that are REPLACING records of the Base 
000028 version are marked with the "difference" symbol '<>' and the IDs of 
000029 those derivatives; the corresponding Base records are marked with 
000030 the "less" symbol '<' and keep their sequence number. 
000031 
000032 Each line on the Reconcile panel has a specific color depending on its 
000033 origin. You can choose your own color scheme from the Profile panel. 
000034 The default colors are: white for Base records; yellow for the first 
000035 derivative records; pink for the second derivative records; etc.; 
000036 red reversed for common records in two or more (up to 7) derivatives. 
000037

  2. Read the Reconcile tutorial for an overview of the M+R Option. Press PF8 to page down and PF7 to page up.

  3. Further down on this same panel is an example (in color) of some of the results you might see.

000057 Let's recap the differences between the 3 versions of the JCL jobdeck. 
000058 The 42nd Base record is replaced in both derivatives with the same
000059 text "TIME=(,30)". Accordingly, the Base record is marked with "< 0042" 
000060 and the replacing line with "<>BC__" where "B" and "C" are the IDs of 
000061 the derivatives. 
000062 One record is added in the derivative "B" after the 45th Base record: 
000063 it is marked with "> B___". 
000064 The 47th Base record is missing in the derivative "C"; therefore, this 
000065 record is marked with "< _C__" instead of with its sequence number. 
000066 The 52nd Base record is replaced in both derivatives but with different 
000067 text: "SPACE=(CYL,(20,10))," vs. "SPACE=(CYL,(25,15)),". 
000068 
000069 #0 You can browse each of the derivatives separately by issuing "View B" 
000070 or "View C". You can try this right now, then issue "Locate 41" to 
000071 view, then issue "View All" (or "v *"), and then "Find #1" to continue. 
000072 Note that the replacing records are shown together with the replaced

  11. Type S next to a component Base Member name to see a merged version of the member. Use instructions in the following resources to merge your custom modifications into the version 8.3 members:

    • M+R Option Getting Started Guide

    • M+R Option Quick Reference

    Note

    Do not do anything to a component on the Consolidation Workplace panel (CDFPANEL) if no member from the custom library is displayed. Do not reconcile differences between two vendor components.

  12. Type E next to a component Base Member name to copy the merged member from your WIS file into the Export File you specified in Step9.

  13. Copy the members from your M+R Option Export file into your ChangeMan ZMF 8.3 custom library.
