Understanding the hierarchy and the SCLM main menu

This section provides an overview of the sample hierarchy and briefly describes the functions available from the SCLM Main Menu.

The sample project uses a three-layer hierarchy composed of four groups. This figure shows the SCLM hierarchy in this sample.

Figure 1. Sample Project Hierarchy

This hierarchy has three levels. At the top level is RELEASE. At the second leve is TEST. There are two groups at the third level, DEV1 and DEV2.

Throughout the remainder of this chapter, this sample project is called PROJ1. If the name established by your project manager is different, or you used a different name to define the project using the SCLM Sample Project utility (Option 10.7), use that name instead.

The sample application is composed of 9 programs that are used to build an application called FLM01AP1, as shown in Figure 2. The programs are linked into 6 load modules. The 6 load modules are organized as 2 subapplications, which in turn are components of FLM01AP1.

Note: If neither the Enterprise PLI Compiler nor Enterprise COBOL Compiler are included as a language in the sample project, the application consists of 6 programs linked into 4 load modules.

The sample that follows assumes that the SCLM project setup activities have been completed as described in Defining the project environment or that you have defined the sample project using the SCLM Sample Project utility (Option 10.7).

Figure 2. Application FLM01AP1

This diagram of the project setup activities has FLM01AP1 as the application, and FLM01SB1 and FLM01SB2 as the subapplications. The activities then split into LEC Architecture Members, CC Architecture Members and Source Modules. Of particular interest is Copy Architecture Member FLM01ARH, which links to LEC Architecture Members FLM01L03 and FLM01L03, and Source Modules FLM01MD5 and FLM01MD6.

Note: Source module FLM01MD2 and architecture member FLM01LD2 are included only if Enterprise PL/I Compiler is included as a language if the sample is defined using the SCLM Sample Project utility (Option 10.7).

Source modules FLM01CD7,FLM01CD8, and architecture member FLM01LD7 are included only if Enterprise COBOL Compiler is included as a language if the sample is defined using the SCLM Sample Project utility (Option 10.7).

After the sample project has been defined, you can take the following steps to begin using SCLM.

Log on to MVS™.
Start ISPF to display the ISPF Primary Option Menu.
Select SCLM and press Enter. The SCLM Main Menu is displayed.
