CMS can be a very general term - we are speaking of software change
management here. There is also something called project change
management, which is different.

I suggest looking at a couple of the product sites.
www.arcadsoftware.com or www.mks.com (David's company) or
www.thenon.net (See-change - someone recommended it here recently) and

look for their reasons.

The iSeries has a lot of dependencies between object types. Rob
mentioned a change in a PRTF. What impact does a change to a physical
file have - how many logical files and programs need to be recompiled?

What happens when 2 or more developers work on the same source? How do

you find source from an earlier version, in case you made a mistake?
Or say that you accidentally deleted some source member? All this can
happen, and a CMS can help rescue you from these problems.

It might be enough to do a checkout - checkin process - TAATOOLS has
one, I believe, that works well for one of our customers. (

Hi,

As we are looking at the possibility of revamping our homegrown
installation utility, I'd like to know more about CMS. I never even
heard of CMS before subscribing to this list. I was wondering what I
am missing. Is it really that complicated to write a utility that
takes care of the development installation and everything that is
impacted by it? How might we benefit from buying a CMS?

Thanks.
