Re: Level Check - service program

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

If the signature did not change on the service program,
or,
(if the signature did change, BUT, you use binder source and thus it 
maintains the old signature also,
and
you didn't change the parameter's used)
Then all you should have to do is copy the service program and the file. 
No modules, binder source, etc.

Running the UPDSRVPGM on the production machine would imply moving the 
module there.  Normally, (just personal style) I wouldn't clutter your 
production box with Modules.

Level Check - service program






I added a field to a file that uses an I/O module (service program) for
all access to this particular file. I have re-compiled the file.

I went to the following link to see exactly what I need to do next.
http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200210/msg00025.html

Then re-read Joel Cochran's article: "Service Programs with a Smile"
particularly this paragraph: "With service programs, you only have to
issue one command, UPDSRVPGM, like so: 
UPDSRVPGM SRVPGM(MYLIB/MYSRVPGM)   MODULE(MYLIB/PROC2)
Doing so updates not only the service program itself but also all of
the programs that have bound PROC2."

Like many shops, we have  dev and prod boxes. If I use the UPDSRVPGM
command to get everything back in sync on development, does that mean I
only have to send the re-created file to production then run the
UPDSRVPGM there, as well? 

Or, could I, to be on the safe side (read: sissy) just recreate
everything - add *prv to binder source, etc - and promote to production?
This is one file, one service program,  and three programs that access
the I/O service program.  The last time I worked on any service programs
was when I built this automatic job submitter system last July. We have
since decided to go in another direction - dot net on our intranet for
all applications.  Scary *ain't*  it?
