Recompiling into production would require a complete regression test to ensure that the code still works as it did in the testing and certification environments. This will be an impossible task to accomplish as by definition the code is in production and the required tests cannot be run without impacting production balances, values, etc. There are also compliance and regulatory issues which require extensive documentation to show what is running in production is what was tested. . > . > . > JO.Skip Robinson > Southern California Edison Company > Electric Dragon Team Paddler > SHARE MVS Program Co-Manager > 626-302-7535 Office > 323-715-0595 Mobile > [email protected] > > > > From: Lizette Koehler <[email protected]> > To: [email protected], > Date: 05/31/2013 02:40 PM > Subject: Re: To recompile or not recompile, that's the question > Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> > > > > Changeman does compiles during Testing and Acceptance.
