ZMF 6.1 Title Functional Area Sub-Area Define non-VIO unit for &&&&LIST datasets Admin Application Redesign of Impact Analysis (I/A) Assist Further improve CMNIA000 efficiency by caching ISIC/ILIC records Add NOCOPYPEND comments to Assist skel and CNTL Make specification of scheduler more flexible Global Logical Unit/System Name used for two purposes Make CMNDIAG available though dynamic allocations CICS: Provide ability to run CMNCICS1 on different LPAR than CICS region Compatibility Promote Allow browse of compress listing from component list. Component Browse New option for promoted component delete. Delete Would like more than 24 levels of history to be maintained for a component History Display Scratch Components on Query Component Query Enhance ZMF to provide support for a user option at time of compile Recompile Concurrent Development Warnings for Scratch/Rename requests Scratch Scratch inconsistent with different storage means Notification if component to be scratched exists in other packages Improve Component Identification, Usage, and History Stage CMNPARSE to allow user to specify data columns New component attributes such as Pre-compile for CICS and DB2 and V vars What other dev is currently going on with this component…Advance check for concurrent dev When to checkout/stage a component you will get a warning of all the packages . Let’s you know when another developer is scrartching/renaming component. Improved concurrent develop to include scratch/rename requests… Improve component ID, Usage and History Added a whole bunch of extra component user variables…. For extra processes Stuff compile/build parms Existing 34 byte fields not adequate. ISPF variables, a bunch of 72 byte fields… History Component build parameters are inherited from the application CMNPARSE use to be fixed columns depending on the language…now the customer can specify it.

Migrations and Planning Upgrading from Prior Releases System needs to be in a 5.6.x conversion ready state ZMF impact analysis, component master, and package master files must be upgraded to a state that enables you to bring up a ChangeMan ZMF 5.6.x task. Converting CMAST/PMAST Copybooks not shipped with product Extract utilities support access to CMAST/PMAST Conversion programs to upgrade CMAST/PMAST Migration and planning slides…what you need to know is migrating to larger then most release upgrades. Several major components have been redesigned and record layouts have changed..so there are new utilities and procedures….

Migrations and Planning Impact Analysis Redesign Now uses a z/OS dataspace backed up by a VSAM Linear Data Sets (LDS) Designed to provide more information about component relationships Version information for every baselined component. Version information includes a hash token for copybooks and Set System Status Index (SETSSI) value and package number for subroutines. Version information is also maintained for every subordinate component relationship. Improves query lookup Dynamic update for all A set of utilities will be provided to reload back into DB2 IA is a big deal and an important one Advantages of dataspace is a vsam file instorage..instead of VSAM IO..advantages are fast access to very large amounts of data with little or no I/O Improves query lookup - Tells all copybooks including nested ones.

Migrations and Planning SSV conversion needed 3 VSAM files that need to be converted Single conversion job for this Please review migration guide Please review readme IA is a big deal and an important one Advantages of dataspace is a vsam file instorage..instead of VSAM IO..advantages are fast access to very large amounts of data with little or no I/O Improves query lookup - Tells all copybooks including nested ones.

ZMF 6 .1 – Sernet Server Features Daniel Duffin Staff Software Developer, SERENA

Sernet Server Features New in Holyrood ZMF 6.1 Sernet server performance enhancements Master file XML extractor Reporting when the server is down

Server Server Performance New streaming protocol New emphasis on tcp/ip – elimination of APPC ZDD response time improvements Internationalization XML casing enforcement Utf-8 and Utf-16 (aka Unicode) support New SERCLIEN application but same API. New DOM processor for XML fragments Support for HFS – ZDD Hilo to follow New log processor Tracing improvements

Master File XML extractor New program SERPMLOD. Stand alone batch execution. Processes Vsam master files directly. Reads XML mapping – same as XMLSERV. Internals transposed into XML. Output dictated by JCL. Extractions used for archive, reports, database loads etc. Can be added to daily housekeeping. No longer need to inspect master file internals.

SERPMLOD Data Flow Diagram

Reporting without Server Run reports when the server is down. Dictated by master file in the JCL. //CMNPMAST DD DISP=SHR,DSN=etc. Archives must be restored to Vsam Performance is a factor. Existing reports and services – SERXMLRC. Comprehensive set to follow.
