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.

Once live, ARCAD will no
longer allow the reference
libraries to be changed
without Skipper. You now
have control.
Predefined processes

repository. This repository
becomes the control point
for all changes.
