Changeman on the main mainframe - What does each step mean?
I am currently trying to promote a package in Changeman on the mainframe. It currently seems like a series of spells that I have to follow. Unfortunately, I cannot remember magic spells. I need to understand what's going on before I can follow. So what is involved in Changeman and what does the following mean: Stage, Checkout, Audit and what do they do?

ChangeMan is strict, but fair! :-)
Seriously though. ChangeMan does use some of them, but after that it makes the development process more uniform and streamlined.
Stage:
Says the witch package is under development.
The most important are:
DEV for "Under Construction"
Creates FRZ for "Frozen" (locked for changes and FTP / copy scripts)
AUD for "Audited" (see below)
BAS for "Baseline" (Current in production)
Audit:
A tool to check the validation of the changes you made (contained in the package) to see if there are harmful and / or problematic issues regarding production code. Like interface changes. Then all programs using the interface must also be changed.
order:
As with other version / source control system, this is a tool for checking the code so no one else can.
