CA-PanAPT controls and automates the movement of entities into Production Libraries. Every entity comes from a non‑Production Library and moves to a specific Production Library. Entities can migrate between as many as 16 levels of libraries.
Most sites set up CA‑PanAPT moves so that before the move into the Production Library, the entities are moved to one or more levels of pre‑Production libraries, such as quality assurance, so proper testing and evaluation can be performed before the changes migrate to production.
Some sites also follow up with more levels after production, such as distribution levels.
When you set up Library Codes, you need to decide which libraries are related to each other. You can include individual libraries in more than one Library Code. Part of the implementation of CA-PanAPT involves determining which non‑Production Libraries are related to which Production Libraries.
For example, suppose a single test library contains source programs, JCL, and documentation, but there are separate Production Libraries for each type of entity. In this case, three Library Codes are set up. Each Library Code has the same Test library but different Production Libraries.
In another case you might use different test libraries and bypass quality assurance for emergency fixes. In this case you would have an emergency fix Library Code for each regular Library Code. They would share the same Production Library, but they would use a different test library and omit quality assurance.
