Slides from the recording of April Mainframe Virtual User Group with our special guest from TCF Bank. Troy Tomlinson, AVP of Operations, shares the bank's journey from legacy version control systems and lack of visibility to complete control using ChangeMan ZMF. Troy discusses the issues and challenges that drove the decision to upgrade to Serena’s solution and how the bank has benefited from implementing ChangeMan ZMF on Z/OS.

Mainframe Issues and Challenges (Before)
• Poor source to load integrity
– Manual compiles for each test environment
• Test environment lacked version control. All
manual, JCL and related components were
copied manually
• Syslib management issues
• Back-out was a manual process
• New copies were done manual
• Components stored across Panvalet and
PDS
• Inadequate approval process-no automated
emails
• Multiple products to support (CA-View,
PANVALET)

20. 20
Migration of PAN APT and Panvalet to ChangeMan ZMF
• Proof of Concept – October 2014
– Use of RAMP to analyze TCF Panvalet libraries for
source and copy components
– Installed, Configured ZMF ALL site and setup POC
applications
– Completed package lifecycles with client data
• Project Kickoff – March 2015 at xChange
• Assessment – May 2015
– 60+ application, 100k components, 90+ compliers,
manual CICS new copy..etc
• Requirements gathering – July 2015
• Development – September 2015
• Go Live – November 2015
