Installation Management
- Pre-Installation Checker warns of any conflicts, missed objects, etc.
- Previous versions of source and objects are archived (up to 99 generations per object). If necessary, part or all of an object package may be rolled back at any time in the future.
- Data in modified files are mapped to new format.
- All necessary object authorities are applied.
- Commands may be defined to run before or after the installation is complete.
- If an installation cannot be completed, it is automatically rolled back and detailed error reporting is provided.
- Scheduler for hands-free installations while users are not on the system.
- Environments may be set to require approval from an authorized user before an installation may occur.
With MDCMS 7.x, a single installation package may contain IBM i and non-IBM i objects. When the installation occurs, all IBM i objects are installed with all of the DB400-specific handling features such as data mapping, triggering, access path building, cross-referencing, etc. All of the non-IBM i objects in the package are installed onto the remote platforms. This allows inter-dependant objects across platforms to be installed at the same time.
Distribution Management
-
Simultaneously distribute object packages to unlimited IBM i servers or partitions via FTP, SNA, or tape.
-
Allows for differences in operating system versions,
-
Selectively send only source, only objects, both, or neither.
