CA PMA Chargeback & DataManager Interrelationships › Commit Interrelationships

Commit Interrelationships

The commit process validates the DataManager and CA PMA Chargeback definition sets. Commit processing allows you to commit the Development version (the version in process), either TESTxxxx or PRODxxxx, to any user-defined second four character version identifier. The following diagram shows how this process works, where DEVELOPMENT is the version you edit, TEST is the version used for testing, and PROD is the version used in production.

                    ----------------------
                    |  COMMIT job makes  |
                    |  version TESTxxxx  |
                    |                    v
             ----------------     ----------------     ----------------
             | DEVELOPMENT  |     | TEST version |     | PROD version |
             |  version of  |     |   of Input   |     |   of Input   |
             |    Input     |     | information  |     | information  |
             | information  |     |              |     |              |
             ----------------     ----------------     ----------------
                    |                                             ▲
                    |COMMIT job makes Development version PRODxxxx|
                    -----------------------------------------------

The commit process performs the following functions:

• Freezes all of the associated CA PMA product's (pc) Development version definition tables.
• Deletes any existing CA PMA committed tables for the specified CA PMA Chargeback product and version. (Defined as the four-character fromver plus the four-character tover on the COMMIT control statement.)
• Changes the version of the CA PMA Chargeback Development definitions, specified in the the COMMIT control statement plus four blanks to an eight-character CA PMA Chargeback version (the four-character fromver plus tover specified in the COMMIT control statement).
