- 6. History • Panvalet and Librarian came into being as the most reliable source repositories of their time in the 1960s • Volatility of legacy production code has been a barrier to conversion off of Pan/Lib • Yet CA customers continue to pay significant maintenance costs and derive little or no value (little or no product enhancements, no currency support, no support for modern workloads, Java, zFS, etc.) • An actual Librarian message recently seen at a global financial services client: 6 SUMMARY OF MESSAGES FINAL INPUT STATEMENT WAS NOT —END. MAKE SURE THAT LAST PART OF DECK WAS NOT DROPPED. A —END statement did not follow the data. Make sure that the control stream is complete.
- 7. How Serena can help • PREVIOUSLY • Conversion off of Pan/Lib involved extraction to PDS/PDSEs then manual migration into ZMF • NEW • Serena Professional Services armed with a new utility to execute rapid, accurate and complete conversions from Panvalet or Librarian to ChangeMan ZMF • Complete conversion of Pan/Lib components including: • Versioning • Component History • Baselines (including full generations, or stacked reverse delta) • Selective conversion, filtering, XML generation • Support for multiple input sources • Intelligent language determination • Orphan, duplicate, missing component, junk determination 7
- 8. Migration Approach – CMNPNLBC (Phase 1) • Pass 1 – for discovery • Read only • Detection • Duplicates, • Missing, • Orphans • Language identification • Source, Copy detection • Comprehensive Filtering • Conformance score • Report post process • Iterative 8
- 9. CMNPNLBC – ISPF Dialog • ReadDir • Listmem • Scan/Replace • Rexx interface • Edit macro 9
- 10. CMNPNLBC • Pass 1 – post processing • Read only • Duplicate elimination • Orphan elimination • Find missing components • Inspect bad conform scores • Iterate • Report edit process 10
- 11. CMNPNLBC (Phase 2) • Copy members to PDS(E) • Copies the identified members • Convert Lib stats to ISPF stats • 9 & 10 char names stored as SRD • Options: • Post process report • Synonym conversion • Generate versions • Generate XML • User customization 11
- 12. CMNPNLBC (Phase 3) • Pass 3 – Ensure nothing is left behind • Post operative detection after • Full life cycle • Members secured in Baseline Libraries • Component History captured • Archive Levels preserved • Analyzes members in both systems • Shows components left behind • ZMF Packages audited for completeness • Safeguard against duplication 12
- 13. Customer Experience Major Global Financial Organization • 10 Librarian • 14 Panvalet • Utility enhanced for multiple library input • Cross library duplicate detection • A previously manually converted application (approximately 400 person-hours) • Complete lifecycle • Component History preserved. • Member statistics carried over. 13

- 19. HLL Function Exits Steve Downes HLLX Overview HLLX Source Examples HLLX Demo
- 20. HLLX Overview Rationale • Key item requested by customers • Currently, customers modify ISPF Panels – inaccessible to ClientPack • Multiple clients (ISPF, Eclipse and ZDD) demand a common method of invoking business logic • Remove need for repetitive rework of user customizations • Simplify the upgrade process – improve time to value • Enable consistent and seamless approach across all clients • No structural changes to API across releases • Protected to ensure future compatibility and upgradability 20
- 21. HLLX Overview How it works (part 1) • Isolate customer written LE/REXX code from ZMF stc • VSCR and protection from error/abend • Separate HLL exit processing address space • Started/Shut down automatically by ZMF stc • ZMF user subtask – HLL A/S exit processing subtask • Initiation/Termination to bracket logical group of exit calls • HLL A/S subtask initiates LE enclave and/or REXX environment as required. • All ‘expected’ functions available from exit program • File I/O • ZMF services • CAF-DB2 • Call external routines 21
- 22. HLLX Overview How it works (part 2) • Published, non-volatile API for each exit point • New fields/variables added to end of list • Initially arranged amongst specific UI panel flows/functions • Package Create – ENH209028 (currently in sandbox) • Build – ENH210231 • Approval – ENH208969 • Install – ENH210233 • Future exit points added as requested • Need to validate each for performance implications • Note: NOT a replacement for existing assembler exits • These remain unchanged • Many of the assembler exits have critical performance requirements 22
- 23. HLLX Detail Admin • Exit module details maintained in ZMF admin • User chosen name for exit program/exec • Active/Inactive • LE/REXX • Two definitions per exit point • Standard – applies to all • Debug – applies only to listed userids • Definitions stored in pmast • Service call to allow clients to decide, up-front, which HLL exits (if any) are to be invoked. 23
- 24. HLLX Detail Testing/Diagnosis • Refresh of exit modules • Disconnect/Reconnect client to pick up exit program/exec changes • ZMF Modify command to display active exits in SERPRINT • ZMF Trace class to show data passed to/from each HLL exit point • Includes timestamp for monitoring delays in customer code. 24

- ZMF4ECl 7.1.2 Comments – 1/21/2012John Skelton is going to provide a deep dive into this solution tomorrow.Any code page supported by z/OSNew query package, very powerful in EclipseMulti-select packages and components…BIG USABILITY GAINSA lot of work providing “like” functionality with the ISPF client7.1.2.01 – 06/08/2012We added the eclipse installer. The great thing about the eclipse installer is that it’s a “pull” model..making deployment within the enterprise a lot easier.Better usabilityAnd cusomtizations7.1.2.02 – 09/20/2012RDZ 8.5 supportImproved RDZ integration –Enable RDZ Smart Editing with ZMF apps - Integrating ZMF Syslib concatenation configuration with RDZ propertiesJohn Skelton is going to provide a deep dive into this solution tomorrow.
- Serena has always provided support for Pan/Lib but now takes things a step further to provide a robust way to convert off with confidence. Librarian and Panvalet are vintage library management products that address the problem of holding large repositories of editable source code in proprietary monolithic library structuresLibrarianApplied Data Research – Princeton NJ 1959PanvaletPansophic Systems – Chicago IL 1969Both Acquired by Computer AssociatesInsignificant product enhancement in 20 years2000 active PAN/LIB licenses world wide
- Execution JCL for typical Pass #1.This should be run several times until duplicates are eliminated, orphan fragments of code are removed and anomalies resolved.Sample report shows component relationships. Copybooks are distinguished from genuine source.
- Edit Macro can convert –INC or ++INCLUDE to COPY (not necessary as CMNWRITE is capable of parsing past this) The ISPF dialog is an interactive interface allowing full edit facility.The Edit macro fully automates ++INCLUDES and –INC to language specific COPY or equivalent.(Example here is a Librarian file)
- Post processing is mostly investigative; you will not succeed in reaching baseline unless all missing components are available for audit. Duplicates are best eliminated; we do not want duplicate components in baselines. Orphans are fragments of code that were copied and abandoned. Language conformance is a guidance for a decision made by the customer.This report can be passed to second phase for processing, but should be run enough times to get things clean.
- Pass #2This is the real work horse. It also produces the same report but copies the identified members and stows them into their respective library types. While doing so, it optionally changes the mechanics of inclusion from ++INCLUDE or -INC to COPY. When the naming structure of included pieces is determined in advance, there should not be any instances of ++INCLUDE ABC10000D7 because we can only support eight characters. If older versions of source and copy are determined by characters 9 and 10 of member name, they are consolidated into the stacked reverse delta. If SRD has been specified, those deltas are calculated and stowed for as many levels back as specified. Meta data is captured and stowed into the PDS(E) directory such as userID, date/time stamp, number of records and some semblance of version.mod.The SRC and CPY are seperated and extracted to PDS libraries.The PDS are staged into ChangeMan development libraries.Optionally, they can be processed via CMNBAHST
- Pass #3After a complete cycle, the original library is scanned once more.Components in the base library are marked off the list,and any components that are missing are reported.This is post-operative.When components have been confidently secured in ChangeMan base libraries and component history and archive levels preserved, the report detects components that have may been left behind. Applications will have been segregated, and broken into different libraries based on language type. Members copied to the wrong library because of nonconformance are corrected in the first life cycle before reaching the base library. All ChangeMan packages are audited for completeness.
- About 500 Cyl/ secondAs ZMF uses IBM interfaces (PDS, PDSE etc.) we are bound by their naming conventions, customers must resolve illegal member namesDefault behavior is to use positions 9-10 as version numbers
