22.1.2 OS/390 Library Management
The Software Configuration Library Manager (SCLM), a component of ISPF,
introduces an object-oriented approach to library management and software
development. The objects SCLM can control are members in partitioned data
sets. SCLM keeps track of objects by means of multiple distinct VSAM files
containing the accounting information of a member for a specific group.
The library management functions of SCLM are intertwined with SCLM
s
configuration management functions. The movements to and from the various
partitioned data sets are examples of library management. The control over
movements to and from the various partitioned data sets are examples of
configuration management.
