BAS packages waiting to be aged

Submitted by scm.admin on Fri, 08/17/2012 - 20:18

Summary: List all BAS packages baselined before a given date.

Here is a real world use case of this report: a customer with about 8.500 change packages and with the package aging parm (in A.A.1) set to 365 days wanted to find out (simulate) what the effect would be of reducing this aging parm to 60 days (only!). The simulation showed that it would allow for aging over 4.500 change packages (that's more then 50 % of the total number of packages!).

Report ID: 
PKGS2AGE
Report Specs: 

Pkgs not aged yet / pkg archive candidates - specs

Report Variables: 

The available report variable #RPTV_TIME_FRAME allows for some interesting report variations:

  • Using a value that matches the package aging parm (defined in A.A.1), it will create a list of all BAS packages that should have been aged already by ChangeMan ZMF housekeeping (but for some reason they were not aged yet).
  • Using a value that is smaller then the package aging parm (defined in A.A.1), it will create a list of all BAS packages that would be aged during the next ChangeMan ZMF housekeeping cycle (so it can be used to simulate the effect of changing value of the package aging parm).

Components deleted from STG without demote

Submitted by scm.admin on Fri, 08/17/2012 - 19:26

Summary: List all components deleted from staging without a prior demote from one or more promotion levels.

Report ID: 
PCDLNODM
Report Specs: 

Components deleted from staging without demote - specs

Report Variables: 

Components deleted from staging without demote - report variables
Specifying values for report variables can be done using the edit vars feature, for which two options exist:

  • option P will bring up an ISPF pop-up panel (as illustrated above). Using this option, the values entered can be validated using any of the available ISPF panel validation techniques (even ISPF panel exists should that be required), which adds another dimension to the power of report variables.
  • option I will invoke the standard ISPF editor. Checkout orphan component promotion history for an illustration of this option.
Report Output: 

Components deleted from staging without demote - output (XML basket)

All checkout requests not moving anymore

Submitted by scm.admin on Fri, 08/17/2012 - 17:55

Summary: List all components in CHECKOUT status, checked out before a given date.

A typical reason for creating such report (and recreating it periodically) is to actually delete such components from staging, as illustrated in remove dead checkout requests. Here are some reasons for doing so:
