Hi,
Is there any way to find out the changes made after compilation of component in changeman?

Thanks

Hi,

AFAIK, there is no such way. What's the origin of such a question, by the way?

HI,

You can compare it with the Base version... So that you can find out your changes....

HI Anuj,

Yes...as you said for brand new components there is no such way...

I think he might be asking about the existing program changes...

Anyway let us wait for his response....

One can say -- take the back-up, compile with new changes and compare with back-up. But that does not seem to be an answer; there is no such in-built function in change-man which will tell such differences.Period.

I am talking about brand new program only. Sorry for the delay in getting back.

Thanks for the follow up Nabi.

As I've already said, there is no such way I know of. If doing that comparison is so important, take the back-up, compile with new changes and compare with back-up.

Nabi,


Take a look at the VC command in changeman. If Changeman administrator has turned it on and you are saving all the versions within changeman when you compile, you can compare with 2 staging versions.


Code:
VC - Component version control (If turned on by Administrator)

Syam, Can you just elaborate your answer?

What do you mean by "Saving" in change man? and is this a TSO command like F all var1 ??

We generally compile in changeman but dont save, isn't it?
Thanks

Syam -- did you try that command at your shop, please try that with a "brand-new" component.

Nabi,

When you compile the source code are you getting a screen similar to the one below....


Code:
Component: XXXXXXXX.SRB   Package: XXXX003383   
                                                 
Save version ===> YES (Yes, No)                 
                                                 
Enter YES to save the previous version that is   
in the staging library.                         
Enter NO to discard the previous version that   
is in the staging library.                       
                                                 
   Set Save Previous Version prompt off




Here you can set the option to "Yes" so that changeman can save the version.


Once you are done with that, in the staging screen give the command "VC" as shown below.


Code:
------------------------- STAGE: XXXX003383 COMPONENTS ------- Row 1 to 7 of 7
 COMMAND ===>                                                  SCROLL ===> CSR 
      NAME   TYPE  STATUS      CHANGED         PROCNAME   ID     REQUEST       
 VC XXXXXXXX SRB  INCOMP    20090612  002233   CMNCOB3  YYYYYYY         




If changeman is configured properly you should get a screen similar to the one below.....


Code:
Component: XXXXXXX.SRB   Package ID: XXXX003383           Staging view       
                                                                               
   Level Prompt       Changed        ID     Description                       
    STG           2009/06/12 00:22 YYYYYYY                                   
   -001           2009/06/12 00:20 YYYYYYY                                     
   -002           2009/06/10 02:35 YYYYYYY                                     
   -003           2009/06/10 00:41 YYYYYYY                                     
   -004           2009/06/09 08:09 YYYYYYY                                     
   -005           2009/06/09 08:02 YYYYYYY                                     
   -006           2009/06/09 02:11 YYYYYYY                                     
   -007           2009/06/09 01:32 YYYYYYY                                     
   -008           2009/06/08 07:17 YYYYYYY                                     
   -009           2009/06/08 04:07 YYYYYYY                                     
   -010           2009/06/05 08:00 YYYYYYY                                     
   -011           2009/06/05 02:30 YYYYYYY                                     
   -012           2009/06/05 02:02 YYYYYYY

   -015           2009/06/05 01:47 YYYYYYY                                     
   -016           2009/06/05 01:45 YYYYYYY
