I have heard of some shops that had SYS1.PARMLIB under LIBRARIAN or PANVALET control.
I (fortunately) have never had to work in any of them. HTH, -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sean Gleann Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2018 7:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Parmlib members change control? I'm coming under pressure from 'upstairs' regarding the idea of implementing change control or versioning on parmlib members and other 'control'-type files (WLM policy, SMS rules, RACF, etc) Currently, I manually maintain 'change history' comments in each member, and a previous version 'backout' member, but that is a highly manual task, subject to a high level of self-discipline (and on occasion I have either bypassed or screwed up that procedure. I've looked at the idea of using SCLM for this, but it all seems like using a sledgehammer to crack a hazelnut. Git has also been suggested, and I'm still looking at that. Does anyone else do anything like this, and if so, would you be prepared to share your experiences, please?
