ARCAD-SCM

ARCAD’s Process and List Manager has

powerful tools to audit this environment to ensure a good start!

Define your reference libraries/directories to

Skipper.

The ARCAD-Audit solution will allow you to identify objects without source,

source without an object, unused programs and more.

Best of all, it’s automated.

You simply supply the libraries to audit and ARCAD does all the work.

Define your testing libraries/directories to Skipper – multiple test levels are supported.

These are called environments. All together,

they are an application.

libraries/directories to Skipper.Development

Once live, ARCAD will no longer allow the

reference libraries to be changed without

Skipper. You now have control.

Predefined processes create and load your

repository. This repository becomes the

control point for all changes.

To make a change, a developer opens a new

Checkout delivers the component to the

development area so changes can be made. The repository keeps track of

everything for you.

Using the repository, developers perform

Transfer those changes to the testing area. The development

version is now locked and cannot be altered unless unlocked by the

developer.

Use 5250, our RDi plug-ins, or any IDE to make your

changes and when ready….

Changes can be sent to test machines or LPARs.

The repository is always kept up to date by Skipper.

trail.
