Re: AFP promotion using Aldon LMi

Joel we only promote the *OVL object thru LMi. The source is not needed.
Who's going to look at it? A user? not likely. As a programmer we must
know where the source is. But we also keep our source in a file that isn't
human readable. We have a designated network location where we keep the
original document that created the overlay.

Aldon's response is that LMi is not capable of promoting source for AFP
overlays.


Surely someone must have a workaround as this is one of the popular s/w
lifecycle managers on the iseries and AFP is also popular.

Any suggestions on how to promote *OVL source with the *OVL object using
Aldon LMi?

The problem seems to be that IBM stores the source in a data file instead
of a source file like RPG and CL.

Thanks

Call Aldon (Rocket) Support. If you do it first thing in the morning
you've got a better chance of immediate attention.

Or e-mail them now and you might have an answer by tomorrow.

There are two items to promote thru Aldon:

#1) the overlay in source form (human-readable) which is stored in a

NON-standard source file (DSPFD type = data) named AFPSRC;

#2) the overlay OBJECT type = *OVL.


#2 seems to promote well, but we would like to carry the source #1 thru

the promotion also. How can that be done?
