Serena ChangeMan Merge and Reconcile
Serena ChangeMan M+R, Merge and Reconcile, simplifies concurrent development by merging and reconciling
multiple versions of software faster and more effectively. Serena ChangeMan M+R allows multiple component
versions to be in motion simultaneously, automatically merging up to eight Key Featuresversions and
supporting concurrent development teams with online, color-coded reports and time-saving scheduling 
capabilities. Serena ChangeMan M+R can prevent production regression and greatly reduces application
implementation time.
Serena ChangeMan M+R works with Serena ChangeMan for z/OS and OS/390 to provide an integrated tool for merging multiple component versions and libraries. Their combined concurrent development management capabilities reduce costs, make it easy to reconcile current versions with ongoing changes, and speed the installation of new releases of third-party, customized applications. Serena ChangeMan M+R further reduces the complexity of project-based upgrades by generating a version impact analysis report displaying differences or similarities and the degree of complexity of their reconciliation.
