Need to ship source only module to a remote location

Issue/Introduction

The situation is the type definition is defined as data and in the processor group there are no processors defined (*NOPROC*).  The need is to be able to ship this data to a remote site using Endevor's package ship.

Release: All Supported Releases

Resolution

There is a way to allow just source code that is stored in Endevor to be shipped to a remote location.

On the type definition panel these are the files that are defined:

BASE/IMAGE LIBRARY ===> iprfx.iqual.BASE1 

DELTA LIBRARY      ===> iprfx.iqual.DELTA1

INCLUDE LIBRARY    ===>                    

SOURCE O/P LIBRARY ===> iprfx.iqual.SOL   

 

The source output library that is defined in a type definition is unique since the add and move actions are part of the Endevor internal processing when a generate or move processor is not defined to the type you are using.

When a element is added to Endevor we check to see if there is a processor group.  If not (and there is source output library defined), we execute a  internal processor called BASICGEN.  This will copy the element out of Endevor and put it in the source output library that is defined in the type definition.  When a move is done, we move to the next stage (same type) and a copy of the member is put in the new source output library.  A delete is also done automatically to clean up the previous stage source output library.  When the add or move action is run in a package, again the internal software is invoked to create a backout member of the elements along with the action processing previously defined.

The source output library should be defined as a PDS with the attributes of

DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=block-size).

Any element that does not have a backout record will not be part of the package ship process.  

The following errors will be displayed if no backout records are defined and the package ship is executed:
