ZIGI Release Notes Version 3.10

New Features and Functions

Support for Co:Z Processing Tooling

Dual path cp use from and to a PDS to use the DoveTail getpds and putpds commands if available, otherwise continue to use cp. The speed improvement is an improvement of minutes to seconds.

To use the Dovetail enhancements (highly recommended) point your browser to https://dovetail.com and download the Co:Z Co-Processing Toolkit. Along with the getpds and putpds, that will greatly enhance ZIGI, you will also have Co:Z SFTP, Co:Z Launcher, Co:Z Dataset Pipes and Co:Z Batch.

The use of the Co:Z Toolkit is subject to Dovetail's Community License https://dovetail.com/docs/cozinstall/licenses.html. When installing refer to:https://dovetail.com/docs/cozinstall/install.html#inst_coz and note that the UID=0 (superuser) or other special permissions are not required for use with ZIGI. Also, you do not need to address other requirements or customization such as z/OS OpenSSH.

User Exits

New User exit driver created (zigiexit) as a generalized exit facility. Initial Exit 0 has been defined to provide a path to DoveTails getpds/putpds
if it isn't found in the default path using zigixit0 (provided as sampxit0).

CONNECT command

New CONNECT command to add an existing ZIGI formatted Git repository to the ZIGI ISPF table of repositories.

Delete improvment

Expand the ZIGI repository delete dialog to allow retaining the Git files and directories.

New PDS member selection commands

  • AF to git add with -f (force) to be used to add a PDS member that was
    previously git ignored
  • I to git ignore a PDS member and a new member status of [ ] Git Ignore
  • Make the Grep panel a popup with a tutorial panel behind it

Various others

  • Add Read Only flag to the ZIGIINFO display panel.
  • Improved usssafe routine that is faster with less overhead.
  • Add git log to ZGBATCH reporting.
  • ZGBATCH now supports a COMMIT DD to provide the commit prose for the batch process. The DD may be a DD * or a DD referencing a sequential dataset or PDS member.
  • Update ZGINSTALL to use Dovetails PUTPDS if it is in the path.
  • For testing purposes added a check for a NOCOZ DD to bypass the Dovetail utilities and use native cp.
  • Only work with z/OS datasets that are in the .zigi/dsn file. All other
    OMVS files will still be processed by Git but will not be copied to/from z/OS.
  • Change git-encoding default value for new repositories, in preparation
    for Rocket Git 2.26.x, which ignores git-encoding attribute and encodes
    the content from the specified encoding to UTF-8.
  • Use LF instead or CRLF as newline character, to be consistent with UNIX.
  • New DIFF command for the local repository to display the differences for either the unstaged or staged changes.
  • Change the ADDALL processing to a 'git add .' instead of adding only individual files.

Bug Fixes and Other Updates:

  1. Remove check of remote after commit as unnecessary.
  2. Clean up the history table. Key on commit and remove %b (body)
  3. In the table state test which checks the level of the repo table,
    if there are no rows then just return to avoid meaningless messages.
  4. Fixed RM of a PDS bug, needed to add -r (recurse) for some edge cases
  5. Fix STOP as a valid command on the delete confirmation panel if members of a PDS are deleted outside ZIGI but not removed from the
    OMVS file system.
  6. Correct detection of untracked members
  7. On a branch change correct handling of added/deleted elements
  8. Correct test for existing datasets in zginstall.rex
  9. Update bugs in ZIGICNVT (CONVREPO command). It is still not prefect but it is better. Now creates a .gitattributes if one does not exist and
    supports files with $ in the name.
  10. Fixed incorrect tagging for untagged files with updates from Filipe Meireles
  11. Use -T for default cp copies to address issue with x'00' (perhaps other) characters in a text member (thx to Filipe)
  12. Correct bug when using member file extensions with the AB (add binary) member selection option.
  13. Correct bug not detecting changed sequential z/OS datasets
  14. Correct 3 issues within 3.10rc found by Filipe:
    • update save_dsninfo routine to ignore all dsn's with members
    • correctly handle extensions in git_add_member routine
    • Improve check for git clean (FM)
  15. Return ISPF message if history not found for the selected element at the requested commit level
  16. Correct bug in History Recovery of PDS member
  17. Correct bug in History Recovery of PS dataset
  18. Correct stats handling and thus change detection for recfm=u (lmods)
  19. Correct but 391 - doing a commit of .gitattributes when adding a dataset
  20. Correct repository delete processing that missed some z/OS datasets
  21. Prevent RECFM=V datasets from being added to a repository in Binary as the OMVS cp command does not support them.
  22. Add Copy popup message to improve awareness when copying PS datasets
  23. Fix broken debug initialization
  24. Correct panel display if missing PDS member but entry in OMVS filesystem and correct rm's
  25. Clean up tables after CHECK processing.
  26. Fix scroll max error in ZIGIEDIT panel when viewing data
  27. Fix use of Dovetail on Pull for selected members in ZIGICKOT
  28. Correction for tbsort on the repo table if sort variable corrupt
  29. Correct return processing from subdirectories
