Invoking the Versions Panel

From the Member Reconciliation Library, Consolidation, Source and Copy Libraries Synchronization, or Equivalent JCL Comparison menu, select menu option 1 (VERSIONS) to access the Versions panel. On the Versions panel, you can enter up to eight version data sets. At least one—the base—is required. The other fields on the panel are explained in the following sections.

The Versions panel allows you to specify up to eight versions through either

  • A full Data Set Name (DSN) and data set organization (TYPE).

  • A ChangeMan ZMF application name (CMN Appl/Pkg) and library type (LibType).

  • A ChangeMan ZMF package ID (CMN Appl/Pkg) and library type (LibType).

  • Any combination of the above.

M+R validates version existence and your TSO/ISPF access authority to them. In case of application/package definition, M+R resolves the mnemonics to the corresponding baseline/staging DSNs and validates your ChangeMan ZMF authority.

The Versions panel also allows you to specify a package ID as a final export destination. M+R exports first to your profile export file, and then to the export package via the ChangeMan ZMF staging procedure for that library type.

If reconciliation is for a single member or for sequential data sets, you can enter an Export member name to specify the name of the member created in the export data set.

If the final export destination is a ChangeMan package, this name is also used as the component name in the package.

Note

This field is automatically set to the component name if you are merging ZMF staging versions (SSV).

A base/derivative library can be a PDS, PANvalet, or LIBrarian, as well as the baseline of a CMN application or a package. For instance, in the Versions panel, the base is entered as the baseline for library type SRC of application ABC; the first derivative is the package 13 of that application; the second derivative is a PANvalet library, and so forth.
