The Challenge: How do I make a copy of the latest version of my maps and UFDs loaded to my source management software?
The Solution: There PRTUFD (API) and PRTMAP (API) prints the UFD and map respectively to spool file (PED763 & PED754N). A list of UFDs and maps can be derived from using this procedure or can be printed individually by running the respective commands.
For an initial run, a work file containing a list of UFDs (@@WORKUFD) in the system can be read thru to a) run the PRTUFD (API) to produce the PED763 report, b) which will be added to source physical file. This source physical file can be subjected to the rules and processes of the change management system in the iSeries.
For an initial run, a work file containing a list of MAPs (@@UFDXFMT) in the system can be read thru to a) run the PRTMAP (API) to produce the PED745N report, b) which will be added to source physical file. This source physical file can be subjected to the rules and processes of the change management system in the iSeries.
Going forward, the maps and UFDs can be checked out which will contain the regular change management tracking on the heading of the "source". And as the map/UFD is finalized (checked in), the source member "source" area is refreshed by running the corresponding report again and appending it to the tracking information.
