In ZMF4ECL 8.1.3 we provided a facility to extract sample ZDDOPTS members at the following location: File > Export > Serena ChangeMan ZMF4ECL > ZDDOPTS Sample Files. In the same release we also added ZDDOPTS functionality that allows mapping of ZMF components to different file extensions using the language of the component being edited. This is achieved through the ZDDOPTS LANGMAP member.
The sample ZDDOPTS COMMAND member that we supply contains an 'all users' profile that disables both PROMOTE and DEMOTE (i.e. PROMOTE=N and DEMOTE=N). However, changing these values to 'Y' has no effect. Removing the fields completely successfully enables these options.
a) The "PACKAGEPROPERTIES" option for the COMMAND ZDDOPTS member is still in the documentation, but not in the delivered ZDDOPTS samples . This is assumed to be deprecated and replaced by setting in the PKGPROP member, but need confirmation an removal from doc if so.
- The extended component user option fields DO display correctly when using the distributed BUILD member sample . I have been unable to isolate a specific difference that explains the failure, however.
Working in an IDz 14.0.0.6 environment, the contents of the ZDDOPTS SYSLIB member appear to have no effect on the property group overrides applied during a Smart Editor session. For example , promotion datasets seem to be permanently specified regardless of whether they are included in SYSLIB or not. Similarly, wallpaper datasets are never applied/overridden in the property group.
