Products

Issue/Introduction

Recently installed Endevor 18.1 maintenance for the 2022 year.  One item that is noticed is that the C1DEFLTS member now has 2 new fields.

GCFDSN=,                        

SMFDYNENV=N,              

Is there more information about these fields? 

 

Environment

Release : 18.1

Component : Endevor Software Change Manager

Resolution

GCFDSN= has been added to the TYPE=MAIN macro in the C1DEFLTS defaults table. GCFDSN specifies the Global Control File that needs to be allocated to implement the Dynamic Environmnet Feature. The C1DEFLTS table must be recompiled after you add the new TYPE=MAIN macro.  The following sample shows an example of a GCFDSN parameter:  GCFDSN='UPRFX.UQUAL.GCF

SMFDYNENV=N  is a new parameter in C1DEFLTS TYPE=MAIN that controls SMF recording for Dynamic Environments, specifically DEFINE and DELETE ENVIRONMENT SCL.  New SMF records for each instance of a DEFINE or DELETE will be written when the flag is set.
