Administration
The z/OS Change Tracker Administration menu features reporting options and resource management functions.
One of the primary administrative tasks is resource protection.
When a resource is protected, an initial backup of all members in the library is taken. This backup is recoverable. This feature can be skipped by specifying INITIAL=NO.
Protection provides a locking mechanism where all members in a library are locked. If LOCK=YES is specified during the protection, an update is disallowed on all the members unless checkout standards are used. To unlock members of the resource, use LOCK=NO. This setting allows updates to the members. Whenever a protected member is changed it is automatically backed up, irrespective of the LOCK value.
