To run VSC

You can run VSC in various ways:

  • An application manager usually wants to verify a range of software components in one go. For example: verify all software components for a particular verification code and package combination.
  • A software engineer usually runs VSC for a single component. VSC can start automatically when you check-in a component, but you can also start VSC manually at any stage in the development process.
Note: Before you run VSC, you must compile the software components that you want to verify. If you run VSC before compilation, the software components are not checked.

To verify a range of software components

An application manager usually wants to verify a range of components. For example: verify all software components that belong to the 76a1 package combination. The verification of these components can take a long time. Therefore it is useful to include the verification process in a batch job. In that way you can schedule the execution of the process, so that it runs at a more convenient time, for example during the night.

To verify a range of software components:

  1. Logon to the LN server.
  2. Start the Verify Software Components (tlvsc3400m000) session.
  3. Select the verification code that identifies the checks that you want to execute.
  4. Select the package combination whose components you want to verify.
  5. Specify the remaining settings for the verification process. Among other things, you can specify ranges for the software components that must be checked and indicate the reports that must be generated. For details, refer to the session help.
  6. Click Verify to start the verification process. The session generates one or more reports with the verification results.
    • Note: To add the session to a batch job, click Add to Job. For details, refer to Defining a job.
  7. Click Maintain Warnings to start the Warnings (tlvsc3500m000) session, where you can handle the generated warnings. For more information, refer to To handle warnings.

To verify a single component

You can verify a component in the following ways:

  • Via the LN server. See the following section.
  • Via the LN Studio. For details, refer to the LN Studio documentation.

To verify a component via the LN server

To verify a component via the LN server:

  1. Logon to the LN server, and start the session where you maintain the component. For example: to verify a session, start the Sessions (ttadv2500m000) session.
  2. Right-click the component and on the shortcut menu click Verify Software Components. The verification process starts. When the verification is finished, the Warnings (tlvsc3500m000) session starts automatically.
  3. Handle the generated warnings. For details, refer to To handle warnings.

Automatic verification upon check-in

Usually VSC starts automatically, when you check-in a component. However, this depends on the properties of the verification code to which your package combination is linked: this automatic verification only works if the Run VSC before check in component check box in the verification code properties, or in the verification filter properties, is selected. The application administrator can change this setting in the Verification Codes (tlvsc1500m000) and Verification Filter Defaults (tlvsc2110m000) sessions.
