Extension Integration (SEI) - mkmm does not work on win with Perl on (10.3)

Products

• CA Spectrum

Issue/Introduction

When starting mkmm in a "bash -login" windows, there are following output:

 

Error: File myMM.i: Missing "irev:" entry.

Error: File myMM.i: Missing "level:" entry.

Error: File myMM.i: Missing "mm:" entry.

Error: File myMM.i: Missing "rev:" entry.

Error: File myMM.i: Missing "vend:" entry.

Error: File myMM.i: No shippable files for products SS.

Error: File Install.i: Missing "irev:" entry.

Error: File Install.i: Missing "level:" entry.

Error: File Install.i: Missing "mm:" entry.

Error: File Install.i: Missing "rev:" entry.

Error: File Install.i: Missing "vend:" entry.
 

Reproduction Steps:

Install Spectrum 10.3 on Windows. Try with a small Management module (I can deliver a small example myMM.i) or your development team can reproduce the steps.

Then Start mkmm:

$SPECROOT/INSDK/mkmm debug=y myMM.i

Workaround:
Installed an old cygwin version to get perl 5.22.x, and mkmm works.

I found in mkmm.lib old fashioned codes which are not anymore accepted in Perl 5.26.x.

For example in mkmm.lib:

$ENTRY =~ s%\${DS}{$vpattern}%\${\1}%g;

Environment

Windows
Spectrum 10.3.0

Resolution

- After recreating the same and were able to identify a fix

- Tested the (customer provided) script in-house and with the changes, it is working fine.

- It is planned to be delivered with the release of Spectrum 10.3.2.
