Emergency Changes

Critical abends can occur at inopportune times, and require immediate attention. Because ChangeMan ZMF can create unplanned change packages, and because it maintains a separate list of approvers for unplanned changes, emergency changes are safe, fast, and easy to perform. ChangeMan ZMF notifies developers 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.
