Z-Files

Printer-friendly versionSend to friendPDF version

This section contains the complete set of software related to the specific solution of any issue described in the Z-Issues. This software is fully compliant to what is documented in the Z-Clues also, and includes installation instructions, info about configuration options, etc about the software. For short: the Z-Files section is actually a collection of slick stuff for enhancing ("mashing up") your ChangeMan ZMF implementation dramatically!

In case you wonder where all those solutions originate from (in other words: if you wonder if you should really consider all of these solutions), make sure to also checkout these related sections:

  • the Z-Issues, containing all sorts of information about commonly known issues in ChangeMan ZMF (mostly enhancement requests, sometimes problem tickets).
  • the Z-Clues, which is the documentation about how a possible solution of the specific Z-Issue might look like. It actually contains the details about the customization that we ever implemented at a ChangeMan ZMF customer before. So with Z-Clues you learn how you can build the customization yourself (which we know/assure solved the issue already at another ChangeMan ZMF customer).

For each solution, you will find things like:

  • The location where you can download the solution.
  • Installation instructions to implement the solution.
  • Other solutions that might be a prerequisite or a post requisite for a solution.

Once you digested all the information available here, you'll better understand what we actually mean by developing add-ons to ChangeMan ZMF that are:

  • easy to use (self explaining, without a lot of support issues).
  • flexible (delivered in a format that allows many different usages of it).
  • customizable (straight forward to adapt to your own needs, and with little effort to upgrade to a new ChangeMan ZMF release).

Sometimes the functionality of some of these solutions are added to a new release of ChangeMan ZMF. In that case you should consider these solutions anyway for as long as you haven't done the upgrade to the new ChangeMan ZMF release. And once you upgraded to the new release, you may realize that even then you don't want to disable the solution (since it offers more functionality as the equivalent feature in the new ChangeMan ZMF.
