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

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
