Configuring Approvers

You must configure approvers in ZMF as needed to initiate the installation and baselining of change packages.

For example, if you configure just one approver, once the approval is given by the approver, the change package will go into ‘APR” status and the installation will be initiated. The Serena Release Manager ZMF approval deployment task will go into “In Progress” state and will wait for the ZMF package to be installed and baselined. Once the ZMF package goes into “BAS” status, the Serena Release Manager ZMF approval deployment task will go into “Complete” state.

An example of how a release engineer might specify approval deployment tasks for the default release stages of Serena Release Manager is given in the Serena Release Manager User’s Guide in "Creating Approval Deployment Tasks".

 

 

NOTE  In ChangeMan ZMF, specify approvers on the Planned Approvals panel in option A.A.5. Approvers must have approval authority.
