Re: Change Management

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

We are a customer of Soft Landing's Turnover change management package. It 
supports the approval process that you noted.  Although our users would 
gag at the once a month implementation of new code.  Turnover also has an 
'emergency' route that can be used also.

If someone so much as does a CHGPRTF on the production machine when you go 
to promote a changed object into production it will stop and tell you that 
something has changed and wait for your approval.  Drawback is that every 
run of a SQLRPGLE program modifies the program changed attribute to record 
the SQL access path used.  It will stop and wait for your approval on 
that.  I think they might be working on telling the difference.  One does 
not want to be come numb to this.

Don't skimp on the education.  But like you said; a shop still running 
S/36 code wants a new Bently for the $40 I sold my Oldsmobile to the junk 
car man for.
