Data Set Access Considerations

To reconcile component versions residing in ChangeMan ZMF baseline libraries and/or packages, and stage the consolidated versions to ChangeMan ZMF packages, there are some issues of access privileges and authority that must be sorted out while you are setting up the M+R environment.

  1. Obtain READ/WRITE access to all your M+R profile data sets:

    • The work in suspense (WIS) PDS or SEQuential data set.

    • The print SEQuential data set.

    • The export PDS or SEQuential data set, in case you will be exporting to a staging library; the export data set may be a PANvalet or LIBrarian data set if you do not intend to export to a staging library.

    For details, see Setting Your Profile.

  2. Obtain READ access to the data sets that you specify as versions in the Versions panel (see Defining Versions). For baseline and package libraries, you need READ access to the application they belong to.

  3. You should have ChangeMan ZMF WRITE (UPDATE) authority over the staging library that you specify as an CMN export package in the Versions panel. In this case, the last requirement is that the SERNET started task has READ access to your profile export data set. M+R first exports to that data set and then issues an RPC to stage it from the export data set to the staging library.

When you submit a Batch Execution job, the SERNET started task should have READ/ WRITE access to

  • The work in suspense (WIS) PDS data set

  • The print SEQuential data set

and READ access to the base and derivative libraries if they are not application baseline or package libraries. In short, the SERNET started task treats the version libraries as development (or personal) libraries.

Should your batch job abend due to access violation, you can manually submit it. The M+R generated jobdeck is member @@CDFJOB in your WIS library.
