This section provides information about the following topics:
Intended Audience
It is assumed that the reader has a basic knowledge of ISPW Deploy and how to make ISPW customizations.
ISPW Services
Some local configuration may be required. If externally sourced resources are preferred to perform this work, ISPW Services can be arranged.
Background
ISPW’s z/OS Deploy was originally developed to support and manage the Fully-Populated Deploy model, with the requirement of deploying cross platform modules without the need for shared DASD, the standard in Production environments. In addition, ISPW z/OS Deploy also provides support of the Concatenated model.
In Test environments, although the Fully-Populated Deploy model is used, many customers use the Concatenated model instead—where the life cycle datasets are concatenated into the runtime environments. Both BaseISPW and z/OS ISPW Deploy support the Concatenated model as part of its standard life cycle support and as software parts (LOAD module, DBRM, etc.) are promoted up to the next testing level, they are deleted from the one behind.
