Overlay warnings when mainframe components are deployed over another users change

Using our previous deployment system, anything a components existed in an enviornment and another user was going to overaly it with their deployment, a warning would be thrown and if the user decided to proceed, the origonal developer whos component was overlayed was notified. This way developers were aware they were not testing the code they thought they had deployed. This capability would need to be at the individual load module level since mainframe deployment are almost always uniqueue. What I mean by that is the fact that each build usually has different programs in it.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    We think the problem stated will be solved by using right git branching strategies and effective process to govern changes. If 2 developers pull from the same branch and add their changes, they are less likely to end up in merge conflicts and hence their changes can be added on top of one another. Because of this, 2 changes worked by 2 different developers on the same program aimed for same release, then this shouldn’t be an issue at all. For testing changes in isolation, they could dedicate a separate environment in UCD where all programs can be tested with unit testing scope without any need to maintain the overall integrity of the environment

    Why changes aren’t traced through JIRA/RTC/EWM/GitHub/GitLab/<your choice of issue tracking tool> board and why conflicting changes can’t be primitively found much earlier in the SDLC phase to avoid such conflicts?


    Looking forward to your feedback.

    I am surprised this hasn't already been identified and part of the product.
