Issue/Introduction

What is the best way to implement new chains in our CCF environment?

Created a new QA environment and changed languages along with setting up group processing so programmers in specific areas can work together on work-orders as a team rather than an individual.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Environment

Release: 4.4

Resolution

1. From the CCF main menu select option 12.11 Admin Services - Library chain definition

2. Select option 1 - Create library chain and press enter.

3. The chain create panel allows the specification of the chain group, chain description, and chain model to be used if desired. It will generate the new chain number automatically for the chain being created.

4. The chain number of an existing chain may be specified as the model chain, creating a copy that will be used for building the new chain.

5. Enter the chain group name and description.

6. Enter the library dataset name for PROD and TEST or QA. 

    Example:

    ACTION TYPE  LIBRARY

                PROD LIBSYS.LIBR.V44.PRODMAST

                TEST LIBSYS.LIBR.V44.TESTMAST

7. Press END to continue.

8. Create the chain attribute for each library

    Example:

  LIBRARY

                                                                        SOURCE  STATUS   OP SYS    PROMOTE  LOCK  LOGIN 

                                                                         MOVE                     MOVE                                 MOVE

  LIBSYS.LIBR.V44.PRODMAST   

                                                                          C             1              C              *            *          *

  LIBSYS.LIBR.V44.TESTMAST

                                                                          A             T               *             *            T          Y     

 

9. Press END to continue and enter the associated files.

     Example

                                             CHAIN NUMBER: 00003 CHAIN GROUP: TWO

   DESCRIPTION: TEST CHAIN

   TYPE: PRODUCTION FILE: LIBSYS.LIBR.V44.PRODMAST

                                 MVS

   OBJECT LIBRARY ===> LIBSYS.LIBR.V44.POBJECT

   LOAD LIBRARY ===> LIBSYS.LIBR.V44.PRODLOAD

   DBRM LIBRARY ===>  

 

10. Press END to save.

11. From the CCF main menu select option 12.2 - Manager definition table

12. Enter the MGRS ID  - AUTHORIZATION CODE (OPTIONAL) -  APPLICATION - CHAIN GROUP

      Example:

    MGRS ID  - AUTHORIZATION CODE (OPTIONAL) -  APPLICATION - CHAIN GROUP    

    USERID1      NONE                             TEST         TWO
