In SDA, there is an application setup with several processes. One of the processes is using the ZMF plugin to get the list of packages for this application from ZMF. The list is very long.
For example, if you configure just one approver, the following happens: • Once the approval is given by the approver, the change package will go into APR status and the installation will be initiated. • The related ChangeMan ZMF approval deployment task will go into the In Progress state and will wait for the ChangeMan ZMF change package to be installed and baselined. • After the ChangeMan ZMF change package goes into BAS status, the related ChangeMan ZMF approval deployment task will go into the Complete state.
(If this link does not work for any reason simply search for APAR OA48941 on the IBM Support website.) The following Serena Software mainframe products make use of these Unicode Services and will also be affected by this issue once host systems are IPL’d on or after December 15th 2015: - the ChangeMan ZMF Client Pack , including both the ChangeMan ZDD and ChangeMan ZMF for Eclipse ( ZMF 4ECL) products.
