Integrating with ChangeMan ZMF

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

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

Note:

The ChangeMan ZMF plug-in is part of the Mainframe Connector, which is a separate option for Serena Release Manager.
