What are some common SCLM commands?

Common SCLM commands include BUILD, MOVE, and DELETE. The BUILD command compiles and links code. The MOVE command promotes code between libraries. The DELETE command removes code from a library.

What types of APIs does SCLM expose?

SCLM does not expose REST or SOAP APIs. Integration is typically done through native interfaces and command-line execution.

What is the business value of using SCLM?

SCLM helps to enforce consistent development practices, reduce errors, and improve software quality. By managing changes and versions, SCLM ensures that the correct code is deployed.

How does SCLM help with compliance?

SCLM provides an audit trail of all changes made to the code, which can be useful for compliance and debugging purposes. This audit trail helps track who made what changes and when.

What authentication methods are supported by SCLM?

SCLM uses the z/OS security system (RACF, ACF2, or Top Secret) for authentication. Users must be defined to z/OS and authorized to access SCLM resources.

What access control model does SCLM use?

SCLM uses an Access Control List (ACL) model to control access to resources. Each resource (e.g., library, member) has an ACL that specifies which users or groups have access and what type of access they have.

What audit/logging capabilities exist in SCLM?

SCLM logs all changes made to the code, including who made the change, when it was made, and what was changed. This logging information can be used for auditing and security analysis.

What administrative interfaces are available for SCLM?

SCLM is administered through ISPF panels. User management is handled through the z/OS security system (RACF, ACF2, or Top Secret).

What monitoring/logging capabilities exist in SCLM?

SCLM provides logging and monitoring capabilities through SMF records and ISPF panels. These tools allow administrators to track SCLM activity and identify potential problems.

Product Overview

SCLM's architecture is centered around ISPF and z/OS datasets. The main components include: * **ISPF Panels:** These provide the user interface for interacting with SCLM. Developers use ISPF panels to check out code, make changes, and check code back in.

* **Project Definition:** This defines the structure of the project, including libraries, languages, and build procedures. The project definition is stored in a z/OS dataset. * **Controlled Libraries:** These are z/OS datasets that store the source code and other artifacts under SCLM control.

SCLM manages versions of the code in these libraries. * **Build Procedures:** These are sets of JCL (Job Control Language) statements that define how to compile and link the code. The BUILD command executes these procedures.

SCLM integrates with z/OS security systems such as RACF, ACF2, and Top Secret for authentication. It uses Access Control Lists (ACLs) to manage access to resources. Communication between components is primarily through ISPF and z/OS system calls.

SCLM relies on z/OS datasets for storage. SCLM's architecture provides a structured environment for managing source code on z/OS.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SCLM and what does it do?

SCLM is a feature of ISPF on z/OS that manages source code, tracks changes, and controls software releases. It provides a structured environment for developers to manage code modifications and maintain version control.

How does SCLM manage source code?

SCLM uses project definitions and controlled libraries to manage source code. Developers check out code, make changes, and then check the code back in. SCLM tracks these changes and manages versions.

Is there a cost to use SCLM?

SCLM is included as part of the base z/OS ISPF product, so there is no separate charge for using SCLM. It is available to all z/OS customers who have ISPF installed.
