Integrating with ChangeMan ZMF

You can integrate Release Automation with Serena ChangeMan ZMF through the provided ZMF plug-in.

The ZMF plug-in can be used to retrieve a list of change packages for selection from ZMF that are suitable for deployment, and then perform a number of potential actions using the default ZMF functionality. The ZMF plug-in uses web services and passes predefined credentials and selection information for ZMF applications, change packages of various types, and so on.

Note:

The ZMF plug-in is part of the RLM Mainframe Connector, which is a separate option for Serena Release Manager.
For more information on using plug-ins, including details on the plug-in steps, see the Serena Release Manager - Release Automation Plug-ins Guide.
